BEA — a division of the Department of Commerce – will release its second estimate of Q2 GDP on August 28. The increase in real GDP was largely due to growing personal consumption expenditure, private inventory investment, exports, nonresidential fixed investment, state and local government spending and residential fixed investment.

Most of the GDP was Inventory build I have seen a few articles on the Internet making this claim, but when I review the financial statements of companies that I own, I don't see this. In fact what I see is a healthy increase in inventory turnover ratio. What I am seeing appears to confirm what US Census Bureau is reporting. Inventory to sales ratios are fairly normal and appear to be rather healthy. Maybe the next report will change that, but I do not see where the current data supports that statement. census.gov Do you have any specific examples of actual inventory build? TIA, B.K.
