I am the Senior Investing Editor at Kiplinger.com, having joined the publication in April 2021. I have over a decade of experience writing about the stock market and have covered corporate earnings reports and stock reactions over that time frame. I find corporate earnings to be so important because they allow investors a closer look into the strength of a company's fundamentals and how these may impact its share price down the road.

Earnings calendar highlights

Monday (10/19)

Tuesday (10/20)

Earnings calendar preview: Netflix

Netflix (NFLX), which is scheduled to report third-quarter results after the closing bell on Tuesday, is not what it used to be. The communication services stock used to reflect the upside of innovative moves such as switching from a mail-based DVD-delivery system to an all-digital streaming format.

NFLX, down 24.7% year to date through October 14 and 41.9% over the trailing 12 months, has gone beyond stagnant due mostly to a dry content well that's left it struggling for engagement in an extremely competitive environment.

Earlier this month, management replaced its chief content officer and announced the company's biggest round of layoffs since 2022, seeing off about 1,000 employees, or 6% of its workforce.

Co-CEOs Greg Peters and Ted Sarandos said in an internal memo that Netflix will be "disciplined about where we prioritize our people and resources" and focus on "high impact areas to improve our service."

NFLX still has broad support on Wall Street, according to S&P Global, with 35 analysts rating the stock a Buy vs 15 who rate it a Hold. Only two analysts rate NFLX a Sell. And upside from here, based on an average 12-month target price of $91.95, is 30.3%.

Wall Street expects Netflix to report year-over-year earnings growth of 39% to 82 cents per share on revenue growth of 11.9% to $12.9 billion.

What analysts really want to see from Peters and Sarandos is a credible plan to recapture eyeballs.

Wednesday (10/21)

Earnings calendar preview: Meta Platforms

Meta Platforms (META) and its fellow Magnificent 7 stocks moved mostly sideways for about 11 months before breaking out again in September.

Indeed, from September 7 through October 14, the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (MAGS) rose 4.9% vs a gain of 0.1% for the S&P 500.

Apple (AAPL, +7.2%) and Microsoft (MSFT, 6.8%) are doing well over this timeframe. Tesla (TSLA, +3.7%) and Alphabet (GOOGL, +2.7%) have lagged, while Amazon (AMZN, -1.7%) and Nvidia (NVDA, -3.8%) have dragged.

The outlier here is META and its 19.7% surge, powered by the September 8 release of its Muse AI agent and its move to the top of Apple's App Store.

Almost on cue, management will release Meta's third-quarter operating and financial results after the closing bell on Wednesday.

Wall Street expects Mark Zuckerberg's outfit to report year-over-year earnings-per-share growth of 465.7% to $5.94 on 23.6% revenue growth to $63.35 billion.

In addition to an update on capex plans, markets will look for validation of Muse's promise, as well as more word from management on what it means for Meta's top and bottom lines going forward.

Note that Tesla will also release complete third-quarter results after the closing bell on Wednesday.

On October 2, management reported 486,532 electric vehicle deliveries for the period, above an estimate of 461,000 to 462,000. Analysts expect EPS of 45 cents (-10.0% YoY) on revenue of $28.11 billion (+0.1% YoY).
