Automakers, Cable Giants and Insurers Fill the Week's Diary

Wednesday brings two confirmed reports. Albemarle posts Q3 results after the close, with lithium markets still under pressure. Cencora holds its Q4 call in the morning. Insurer Allstate also reports after the bell today.

Thursday is the busiest day. Polestar holds its Q3 earnings call in the morning. ORTEX alt data tracking Dutch car registrations points to revenue running 68% below the same quarter last year. A separate German cars dataset, with a strong fit, shows a 32% year-on-year gain for the period. The two signals pull in opposite directions, making Polestar's print one of the more uncertain reads of the week. Sony posts Q2 fiscal results, translating late Wednesday evening New York time. Advance Auto Parts holds its Q3 call Thursday morning, as does Bentley Systems.

Akamai Technologies reports Thursday after the close, alongside AMN Healthcare.

Honda Motor delivers its fiscal Q2 numbers on Thursday too. Japanese car registrations, which ORTEX alt data shows leads Honda's revenue by 65 days with a strong fit, ran 10% below the same quarter last year across all three months. That is a consistent headwind heading into the print.

Friday brings Charter Communications, which faces a 71% deletion probability from the MSCI World November review according to ORTEX's Index Rebalance Radar. Forced selling of $901 million is on the table if that deletion is confirmed on 11 November.

No IPOs were confirmed in the database for the next seven days.
