Q2 earnings season hits full stride this week. Three closely watched names report results, and short sellers are paying close attention to at least one of them.
Tomorrow — Tuesday, July 22
GOOGL reports Q2 after the close. The $2 trillion search and cloud giant carries just 1.5% short interest. The bar is high. Investors want more evidence that AI spending is translating into revenue gains.
CCI (Crown Castle) and EQR (Equity Residential) both report Tuesday afternoon. Rate-sensitive REITs have been volatile. Results here will test how higher-for-longer rates are biting into real estate cash flows.
RJF (Raymond James Financial) also drops Q3 numbers Tuesday. Wealth management revenue will be the key line.
Wednesday, July 23
INTC posts Q2 results after the close. Intel carries 2.8% short interest. Investors are watching for any signs of a turnaround under its restructuring plan.
ROP (Roper Technologies) holds its Q2 earnings call Wednesday morning.
Thursday, July 24
CHTR (Charter Communications) reports Q2. Its short interest sits at 25.6% of free float — the highest of any major name on this week's calendar. Subscriber trends and broadband margins will be under the microscope.
No IPOs are on the calendar this week.
