US Q226 Earnings Season: Which Major Banks Report First and What to Watch
Six major US banks report earnings on 14–15 July. Five trade near record highs, but elevated expectations can cut both ways. Here's what to watch.
US Earnings Season Preview: AI, the Magnificent Seven and the Next Market Test
US earnings season is the primary catalyst for reassessing equity valuations, providing investors with fresh evidence on whether corporate fundamentals continue to justify elevated market valuations. This reporting season arrives with expectations already set high after an exceptional quarter that propelled the index to a record high. As companies begin reporting, the focus will extend beyond whether they beat forecasts to the strength of forward guidance.
Netflix Q2 Earnings Preview: Low Expectations, High Short Interest and a Potential Volatility Event

US Q2 Earnings Season: Beyond the Mag 7
The Mag 7 dominates earnings season in the past, but something has shifted. The market is no longer asking whether AI demand is real. It's asking who's winning, who's losing, and how much upside is already priced in.
Tesla Q2 2026 Earnings Preview: Earnings Quality in the Short Term, AI Delivery in the Long Term
Earnings tell you about the performance, but AI tells you about the valuation. For Tesla, what really moves the stock this quarter may no longer be how many cars it sold, but whether the market is still willing to pay a premium for the future of its AI businesses — Robotaxi, FSD, and Optimus.
Alphabet Q2 Earnings Preview: Cloud and Capex Take Center Stage
Alphabet reports second-quarter 2026 results tomorrow, and the market arrives with demanding but achievable expectations. Consensus points to earnings per share of US$3.2 and revenue near US$101 billion, a year-over-year gain of around 25%, driven by Google Cloud growth of roughly 64% and a Search business holding firm against generative AI competition. The central focus of the print, however, will be capex and how much clarity the company offers on 2027.
Apple Q3 2026 Earnings Preview: Memory Costs Test Profitability as Options Bet on Bigger Swings
The market broadly expects Apple to deliver another solid quarter, but options are now pricing implied earnings-day volatility at nearly double the historical average, showing traders are paying up for potential uncertainty. What really drives the stock may not be whether earnings beat expectations, but whether gross margin can hold up against memory cost pressure — and how management lays out the final AI roadmap of the Cook era.
