Retail earnings

In the United States, the earnings season is almost over but we do have a few big names expected to report still, starting on Tuesday.

We've got Home Depot followed by Cisco and Target on Wednesday, and on Thursday, look out for Walmart and Applied Materials as well.

Home Depot, Target, and Walmart are some of the biggest names in US tetailers, and they're reporting earnings in a very challenging period of still very high inflation and quite shaky consumption.

On the one hand, retailers are trying to pass on higher costs to their consumers and customers, and on the other hand, shoppers are looking for ways to limit spending.

Walmart

Walmart's earnings expectations will paint a picture of how tricky the situation is for retailers that are trying to balance the two. Revenue is anticipated to rise 5% to $148.5 billion, reflecting that rise in cost. But the Street expects earnings at $1.30 per share, which means a fall in profit margins.

    • The U.S. stock markets are currently experiencing a bullish trend, with any recent downward movements considered part of a bullish corrective pattern according to Elliott Wave analysis. Trading activities are being temporarily paused until after the U.S. elections, as this week is expected to be highly active due to 622 earnings reports and the Federal Reserve meeting scheduled for November 7th. Key Elliott Wave Analysis: S&P 500 (SPX): In Wave 4, with three bullish wave counts under consideration. NASDAQ 100 (NDX): Progressing through Wave 4. Apple (AAPL): Entered Wave (2), indicating a corrective phase. Amazon (AMZN): In Wave iv) of 5 of (1), suggesting a minor correction within an overall upward trend. NVIDIA (NVDA): Advancing in Wave 1 of (5), pointing to the beginning of a new upward impulse. Meta Platforms (META): Nearing completion of Wave 4, potentially setting the stage for Wave 5 upward movement. Netflix (NFLX): Completed a Wave 4 Triangle pattern, indicating a possible breakout. Alphabet (GOOGL): Currently in Wave 4, suggesting a corrective phase before the next upward impulse. Microsoft (MSFT): Holding at the 400 support level, in Wave A of (2), which may be the start of a larger corrective pattern. Tesla (TSLA): Moving through Wave 4 of (1), indicating a short-term correction. Bitcoin (BTC): In Wave 4, suggesting a consolidation phase before potential upward movement. Trading Strategy Insight: Investors are advised to monitor these developments closely, especially in light of the upcoming U.S. elections and significant economic events this week. The Elliott Wave patterns indicate that while short-term corrections are occurring, the overall market trend remains bullish. Combining this technical analysis with fundamental factors will be crucial for making informed trading decisions. Analyst Peter Mathers TradingLounge Source: tradinglounge com
