Five S&P 500 companies report this week. The line-up is tech-heavy and builds toward a blockbuster Friday close.
Tomorrow (Tuesday, Sep 1) brings the first big tests. Medtronic posts its fiscal Q1 before the bell. The medical device giant carries just 1.1% short interest — bears are not positioned. After the close, Palo Alto Networks and Dell Technologies both report simultaneously. PANW short interest sits at 2.6% of free float. Dell's SI of 4.7% is modest but worth watching as the AI server cycle matures.
Wednesday (Sep 3) delivers the week's main event. Broadcom reports after the close. The $1.75 trillion chipmaker carries only 1.2% short interest. Its AI networking exposure makes guidance the critical number. Hewlett Packard Enterprise and NetApp also report Wednesday, adding further colour on enterprise IT spending.
Thursday (Sep 4) rounds out the week with Ciena before the bell. The optical networking specialist will be read closely for AI infrastructure demand signals.
Friday (Sep 5) closes with lululemon. Short sellers have built an 11.1% SI position — the highest of any name reporting this week. Consumer sentiment and margin guidance will determine whether those bears profit.
No significant US IPOs are scheduled in the next seven days.
