A busy stretch of corporate reporting kicks off this weekend. AutoZone drops Q4 2026 results Tuesday, September 22, at 9:30am ET. The auto parts giant carries a market cap of $46.6bn. Homebuilder KB Home also reports Tuesday afternoon, giving investors a fresh read on the US housing market.

Wednesday brings the biggest call of the week. General Mills hosts its pre-recorded Q1 2027 earnings call, with results released Tuesday evening. The $19.4bn food group has faced pressure from slowing consumer staples demand.

Thursday is the heavyweight session. Costco Wholesale reports Q4 2026 after the close. The $397bn warehouse club is one of the most-watched names in retail. Investors will focus on membership fee trends and same-store sales momentum. Also on Thursday, Darden Restaurants holds its Q1 2027 call, with results from brands including Olive Garden in focus.

Cintas holds its Q1 2027 call on Wednesday. The $79bn uniform services firm is a bellwether for US jobs market health. Paychex follows on Wednesday too, another payroll-sector signal for labour conditions.

No major IPOs are scheduled this week. The earnings calendar is the clear focus, with Costco the headline event.
