U.S. stocks saw a mostly positive week after Wall Street shrugged off early concerns about escalating trade tensions. Investors are still looking with a cautious eye toward next week’s Fed meeting, but with Q3 earnings season on the horizon, it is possible a thaw in the trade war could give way to further gains.
New tariffs remain an uncertainty, of course, and specific industries—such as semiconductor manufacturing—are facing cyclical headwinds. Take Micron (MU - Free Report) , for example. The memory chip giant beat earnings estimates and posted decent profit guidance, but investors were not impressed. This implies that those reporting in the coming sessions will face pressure to post very strong numbers.
With that said, investors can always prepare for these events with the Zacks Earnings Calendar. This handy tool is your perfect one-stop-shop to properly prepare for earnings, dividend announcements, and other important financial releases.
