This week, despite being a short trading week on Wall Street, there are significant earnings reports that could influence the stock market.
Netflix, Johnson & Johnson, and United Airlines are among the 35 companies from the S&P 500 that will report their latest quarterly results. These reports will follow a week in which major banks reported record results. JPMorgan Chase posted its best fourth quarter, while Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley exceeded analysts’ expectations due to strong trading revenues. So far, a little over 40 S&P 500 companies have released their results, and 76% have surpassed analysts’ forecasts, according to FactSet.
Here’s what to expect from the key reports this week:
Tuesday
- D.R. Horton will release its results before the market opens, followed by a conference call at 8:30 AM. Last report: DHI reported disappointing fourth-quarter results, missing analysts’ expectations. Current report: The construction company’s earnings are expected to drop by over 15% compared to the previous year, according to LSEG. What to watch: Pre-report outlooks seem weak, as Wells Fargo lowered their first-quarter forecasts and expects weaker delivery results (around 20,000) and lower margins (below 22.5%). The stock finished 2024 down 8%. History: D.R. Horton beats earnings expectations 75% of the time, with stocks typically rising by 1.5% on earnings report days, according to Bespoke Investment Group.
- Netflix will report after the market closes, with a conference call scheduled for 4:45 PM. Last report: NFLX reported a 35% increase in subscribers to its ad-supported plan. Current report: The streaming giant’s earnings are expected to double compared to the previous year, according to LSEG forecasts. What to watch: Key for Netflix investors will be how the company continues to release highly rated content and expand its live event programming. History: Netflix has had significant stock price swings after two of the last three earnings reports, including an 11.1% increase in October.
- United Airlines will release its earnings after the market closes, with a conference call the following day. Last report: UAL gave a strong fourth-quarter forecast, which helped stocks reach post-pandemic highs. Current report: The airline is expected to report a nearly 50% increase in earnings compared to the previous year, according to LSEG. What to watch: There are high hopes for continued growth in earnings and revenue, particularly after its competitor, Delta Air Lines, kicked off the earnings season with optimism. Investors will look for signals on demand and pricing as post-Covid consumer demand stabilizes. History: United has beaten earnings expectations for nine consecutive quarters, according to Bespoke.
Wednesday
- Johnson & Johnson will release its results before the market opens, with a conference call at 8:00 AM. Last report: JNJ exceeded analysts’ expectations in its third-quarter results. Current report: Analysts expect earnings to decline by over 10% compared to the previous year, according to LSEG. What to watch: Goldman Sachs analyst Chris Shibutani expects reasonable forecasts for the pharmaceutical giant after reviewing trends in procedure volumes and prescription volumes for key pharmaceutical products. History: J&J beats earnings expectations 96% of the time, according to Bespoke, but the stock typically only rises by 0.3% on earnings report days.
- Procter & Gamble will report its results before the market opens, with a conference call scheduled for 8:30 AM. Last report: PG exceeded expectations, but weakness in China impacted sales. Current report: Analysts expect earnings to stay flat compared to the previous year, according to LSEG. What to watch: Several factors could influence Procter’s earnings, including worsening currency dynamics and a negative effect from a cybersecurity incident in Blue Yonder. History: Procter & Gamble has exceeded earnings forecasts in the last seven quarters, according to Bespoke.
