Now I have a clear picture of the week's major events. Let me write the article.
Cisco Systems kicks off today's action. The networking giant reports after the close, with analysts watching for AI infrastructure demand signals. Applied Materials follows tomorrow — the chip equipment leader's results will test sentiment across the semiconductor sector.
Gold Fields also reports today. The $40bn miner is one of the biggest names in gold equities this earnings cycle.
Mid-week: Semis in Focus
Applied Materials reports Wednesday evening. Chipmakers have been volatile on tariff concerns. Investors want clarity on equipment orders and export restrictions.
Late Week: Retail Takes Centre Stage
Home Depot reports Tuesday morning. Consumer spending data will be key. Progressive, the $116bn insurer, releases results on Monday evening.
The week closes with a retail cluster. Lowe's, TJX Companies, and Analog Devices all report Wednesday morning. Hasbro (HAS) rounds out the consumer picture.
No significant IPOs are scheduled in the next seven days.
Over 1,300 companies globally report this week. The US names — spanning tech, retail, and insurance — will dominate market direction heading into the long weekend.
