Q3 earnings season kicks off in earnest this week. The big names arrive Thursday and Friday.
PEP reports Q3 results Wednesday morning. Analysts will watch volume trends closely. US nonfarm payrolls hit a record 159 million in September, per ORTEX Alt Data, which should support consumer spending. Average hourly earnings rose to $37.81 in September, a fresh record, adding to the demand picture for staples companies.
DAL holds its Q3 earnings call Thursday. The airline sector is sensitive to labour costs and fuel. Record payrolls are a double-edged signal here.
LEVI reports tonight after the close. The jeans maker's Q3 call lands at 5pm ET. Retail conditions remain mixed.
STZ holds its Q2 2027 call tomorrow morning at 8am ET. The beer and spirits group has faced volume pressure in recent quarters.
Looking to next week, the big banks arrive fast. UNH, JNJ, WFC, C and GS all report on 13 October. Medicare Advantage penetration reached 51.1% in June 2026, its sixth consecutive monthly rise, per ORTEX Alt Data. That backdrop matters directly for UnitedHealth's managed care revenue outlook.
