A busy week opens today with confirmed results due across consumer, tech, and housing sectors.
AutoZone kicks off Monday morning with its Q4 2026 release before the open. The auto parts retailer has beaten estimates in eight straight quarters. KB Home also reports Monday afternoon. Housing data will be closely watched amid ongoing mortgage rate pressure. MillerKnoll holds its Q1 2027 earnings call Monday morning.
Tuesday brings a trio of notable results. Cintas and Cracker Barrel both hold earnings calls. Paychex releases Q1 2027 figures before the open. Payroll data will offer a read on small business health. General Mills pre-records its Q1 2027 call Tuesday evening.
Wednesday delivers the week's biggest event. Costco reports Q4 2026 after the close. The warehouse giant's membership trends and consumer spending data routinely move the broader retail sector. Darden Restaurants and BlackBerry also report Wednesday.
Scholastic rounds out the week Thursday. No significant IPOs are scheduled for the next seven days.
Short sellers will watch Costco most closely. Any sign of membership slowdown or margin compression could accelerate bearish positioning heading into Q4.
