Monday, August 1


Activision Blizzard (ATVI) 


The California-based video game maker is set to post its earnings for the second quarter after Mondayâs close. The company is set to be acquired by Microsoft (MSFT), although the transaction remains under review with European regulators opening a probe. Shares have continued to trade at a discount to Microsoftâs proposed takeover price at $95 per share throughout 2022.

Diamondback Energy (FANG)


Following results last week from industry heavyweights Chevron and Exxon, Diamondback Energy (FANG) will provide its second-quarter update on Monday. Despite a resilient year-to-date performance, shares have fallen over 20% from their June peak as oil and gas prices have retreated. Still, Goldman Sachs named the stock among its top five picks for 2022 shortly before the earnings release.

Earnings Insight: Diamondback Energy has beaten earnings estimates in 4 of the past 8 quarters, marking the same success rate against revenue expectations.

Shares of the Arizona-based semiconductor company have risen nearly 70% over the past year despite a slight drop year-to-date. In recent weeks, Citi voiced its belief that ON Semiconductor (ON) is likely to report "good earnings" and prompt a "short-term bounce" for the semiconductor sector.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)


Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) will report earnings on Tuesday, following less than one week after a pessimistic report from its key competitor in Intel (INTC). Despite a nearly 40% drop for the stock over the course of 2022, shares have rebounded nearly 20% from their yearly low ahead of the earnings. 
The report also follows less than one week after the passage of the CHIPS Act, which is presupposed to be a major tailwind for the semiconductor industry broadly. Meanwhile, headed into the report, analyst David Alton Clark issued an upbeat appraisal of the company, telling investors âyou ainât seen nothing yet.â


Consensus EPS Estimates: $1.04

Consensus Revenue Estimates: $6.53B

Earnings Insight: AMD has beaten EPS estimates in 7 of the past 8 quarters, exceeding revenue expectations in 6 of those quarters.

Caterpillar (CAT)


Construction giant Caterpillar (CAT) is set to report its second quarter earnings before the market open on Tuesday. Despite recessionary concerns for the cyclical business, the stock has significantly outperformed the market in 2022. Along these lines, analyst firm Valuentum argued that CAT âknows how to handle cyclical downturns.â
Still, the stock has shown significant volatility in the past few months, touching a 52-week low in mid-July. Elsewhere, the company is in the midst of a move from its long-time Illinois headquarters to a new base in Dallas.


Consensus EPS Estimates: $3.02

Starbucks (SBUX)


Starbucks (SBUX) is set to report second quarter earnings after the bell on Tuesday. The Howard Schultz-led coffee chainâs stock has slid nearly 30% so far in 2022. The company has dealt with unionization pushes throughout the year as well as the need to close stores for âsafety issuesâ, according to Schultz. 
Additionally, the chain recently offloaded its Russian business and is considering the sale of its UK business, according to The Times. Despite these challenges, analyst Christopher Canno recommends investors buy Starbucks amid a bear market.


Consensus EPS Estimates: $0.76

Consensus Revenue Estimates: $8.13B

Earnings Insight: Starbucks has beaten EPS estimates in 5 of the past 8 quarters, marking the same success rate against revenue expectations.

JetBlue Airways (JBLU)


In its first earnings report since outmaneuvering Frontier Air Group (ULCC) in a bidding war for Spirit Airlines (SAVE), JetBlue will report its second-quarter earnings. While surging travel demand has been cited by both Delta Air Lines (DAL) and United Airlines (UAL), capacity and cost concerns also weighed on each airlineâs results. Competitor United Airlines specifically pointed to staffing shortages as a concern for the industry, with the CEO saying the firm is ânot going to get back to normal utilization and normal staffing levels until next summer,â for example.


Consensus EPS Estimates: -$0.11

Consensus Revenue Estimates: $2.46B

Earnings Insight: JetBlue has beaten EPS estimates in 6 of the past 8 quarters, exceeding revenue expectations in 5 of those quarters.

Consensus EPS Estimates: $4.49

Consensus Revenue Estimates: $3.95B

Earnings Insight: Moderna has exceeded EPS estimates in 3 of the past four quarters, marking the same success rate in terms of revenue performance.

CVS Health Corp. (CVS)


CVS Health Corp. (CVS) will update investors on its second-quarter performance before the bell on Wednesday. The stock has outperformed the market so far in 2022, falling only about 8% in the first seven months of the year as compared to a nearly 20% decline in the S&P. According to Bloomberg, the Rhode Island-based healthcare company pursued a buyout of One Medical. However, only weeks prior to the earnings release, the takeover target instead struck a deal to be acquired by Amazon (AMZN) as the tech giant once again tries to muscle into the healthcare space.

Plant-based meat substitute maker Beyond Meat (BYND) is due to report earnings after the close on Thursday. Shares of the California-based alternative protein company have cratered in 2022, falling more than 50% as the company continues to post net losses. Ahead of the release, concerns about the companyâs partnership with McDonaldâs (MCD) have increased as JP Morgan told clients its McPlant is likely to be discontinued.

Cheniere Energy (LNG)


The largest LNG producer in the US, Cheniere Energy (LNG) is set to report earnings before the market open on Thursday. Shares of the energy company, key to US LNG exports, have surged over 40% in 2022 as an energy crisis grips the world after Russiaâs invasion of Ukraine.
