From the BEA: Gross Domestic Product (Third Estimate), Corporate Profits (Revised Estimate), and GDP by Industry, Second Quarter 2024 and Annual Update

Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 3.0 percent in the second quarter of 2024according to the “third” estimate released by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the first quarter, real GDP increased 1.6 percent (revised).

The GDP estimate released today is based on more complete source data than were available for the “second” estimate issued last month. In the second estimate, the increase in real GDP was also 3.0 percent. The update primarily reflected upward revisions to private inventory investment and federal government spending that were offset by downward revisions to nonresidential fixed investment and exports. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, were revised up.
emphasis added

Here is a Comparison of Third and Second Estimates. PCE growth was revised down from 2.9% to 2.8%. Residential investment was revised down from -2.0% to -2.8%.
