Source publication and acquisition
This record describes GDP observations acquired September 30, 2026 from the BEA Section 1 spreadsheet. Its headers state August 26, 2026 publication, with quarterly observations through Q2 2026. It is a site acquisition record, not a claim to contain the GDP release scheduled for September 30.
Nominal GDP comes from Table 1.1.5. Real GDP levels come from Table 1.1.6. The published annualized growth companion comes from Table 1.1.1. Codes, table names, chained-dollar reference year and original scale remain attached to the dataset.
Preserve units and estimate versions
GDP is quarterly and seasonally adjusted. Dollar levels are annual rates. The real GDP headline uses BEA’s published quarterly annualized growth, not an annual growth rate for the calendar year. Real levels use chained 2017 dollars in this file. Components cannot be casually added to reproduce the total.
The acquired table is a revisable source estimate. This archive does not contain a sequence of authentic advance, second and third GDP releases for the same quarter. The source file’s date is recorded, but unavailable historical versions are not manufactured from the present history.
Research and future releases
Use the GDP indicator’s exact table and raw download to inspect the levels. Select an explicitly labeled transformation when comparing quarterly, annualized or year-over-year growth. A saved view includes the site snapshot identity; it does not imply that today’s estimates were known in earlier decades.
The verified future schedule includes an advance estimate for Q3 on October 29, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. America/New_York. An agency schedule is separate from published and ingested data. A later acquired file must pass validation and source review before it replaces this approved snapshot. The current freshness limit remains visible on GDP pages.
