As the stock market dips in the face of new tariffs from President Donald Trump, there is some hope that this week’s earnings reports will help shift the tide upward again.
This week will be all about the banks, with JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs both releasing their quarterly earnings reports. These reports will shed light on the state of the economy, as banks tend to ride the economic shifts.
JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is up first, with its second quarter earnings report scheduled for Tuesday. JPM is usually given predictions that are below its actual earnings, and this quarter may be no exception. The bank tends to outperform the economy and surprise investors, especially in its most recent quarters. This stock may have a healthy upside that takes investors and analysts by surprise.
Goldman Sachs (GS) comes next, with their earnings report scheduled for Wednesday. This bank is expected to post an earnings gain of 6% year over year. That would be a quarterly revenue of $13.5 billion, and analysts anticipate EPS (earnings per share) of $9.43.
We will also see earnings reports this week from Citigroup, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo, all of which add up to a very important week for the economy. Investors should be paying close attention to the banks’ reports, considering wider trends if they want to pin down the state of the economy and where it might be headed.
Can Netflix Top Its Stellar First Quarter?
On Thursday, Netflix (NFLX) will be releasing its second quarterly earnings. For the first quarter, the video streaming service surprised investors with better than expected results. Investors now expect a great Q2 report, but will they be disappointed?
In April of this year, Netflix posted a revenue bump of 13% compared to the previous year, far exceeding what was anticipated. Their stock value has grown since then, adding about 30% more value.
It can be hard for a company that is designed like Netflix to keep gaining, especially if they manage to reach market saturation on subscriptions. At some point, everyone who wants a Netflix subscription will likely have one, right? Well, Netflix is counting on those that are still on the fence to come over to their side thanks to the company’s enticing offerings.
Netflix has been working hard to improve its streaming service original content and to give viewers more of what they like. They have been pushing Squid Game, Wednesday, and Stranger Things iterations recently, all of which have been strong performers for them. If they can keep creating buzz-worthy content, then they will pull in more subscribers from those who have written them off in the past.
The current expectation is that Netflix will bring in just over $11 billion in revenue for the second quarter, which would be a 15.6% increase from the previous year. They have been increasing their advertising effort lately, and we will see later this week if their efforts have paid off.
