Big Tech Dominates a Packed Earnings Week

This week brings some of the heaviest earnings traffic of the year. Today, CDNS kicks things off with its Q3 call after the close.

Tomorrow brings KO and SPGI before the open, followed by HLT at 9am. CNC also reports Q3 results Tuesday morning.

Wednesday is the week's centrepiece. MSFT reports fiscal Q1 2027 results after the close, alongside GOOGL. Both carry enormous weight for the broader tech sector. APH, CMG, BIIB and EBAY also report Wednesday.

Thursday brings AMZN and INTC, both after the close. BMY and GILD report the same day. For Intel, this print arrives as the chip sector navigates a shifting competitive landscape. In Europe, MBG reports Wednesday. ORTEX auto registration data shows Dutch car sales leading Mercedes revenue by 26 days with a strong fit, running 6% below the same quarter last year. VOW3 follows Thursday, where Austrian car data points 6% lower year-on-year.

No IPOs are scheduled this week in the database. The index calendar adds a subplot: the Russell 2000 December review ranks on Thursday 30 October. Five names sit within 1.3% of the entry line, with Old National Bancorp (ONB) exactly on the threshold at 55% probability.
