Focus on Major Earnings Reports

This week highlights key earnings reports from major companies, specifically Apple's upcoming product launch and Walmart's fiscal Q4 results. Apple is expected to unveil a new fourth-generation iPhone SE, potentially alongside other products, with the announcement delivered through promotional materials. Walmart's earnings will be scrutinized, particularly for insights on how tariffs on China may affect profitability, as a significant portion of its merchandise is sourced internationally. Investors are concerned about recent bearish revisions in earnings estimates for Walmart, but some analysts remain optimistic about the company's ability to sustain growth amid share buybacks and increasing cash flow.
