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

Earnings calendar recap: Nvidia

Nvidia (NVDA), the leader of the AI revolution, reported fiscal 2026 third-quarter earnings of $1.30 per share (+60.5% year over year) on revenue of $57.01 billion (+62.5% YoY). Gross margin was 73.6% vs 75.0% a year ago. And CEO Jensen Huang pushed back in his comprehensive way against worries we're in an AI bubble in his quarterly commentary.

Nvidia expects to report fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $65 billion, "plus or minus 2%," and gross margin of 75%, "plus or minus 50 basis points."

"Data Center revenue for the third quarter was a record $51.2 billion, up 66% from a year ago and up 25% sequentially, driven by three platform shifts - accelerated computing, powerful AI models, and agentic applications," CFO Colette Kress said in her quarterly commentary.

"Blackwell Ultra is now our leading architecture across all customer categories," Kress added, "while our prior Blackwell architecture saw continued strong demand."

Wall Street forecast EPS of $1.23 (+51.9% YoY) on revenue of $54.59 billion (+55.6% YoY). The consensus hoped to see fourth-quarter revenue guidance of $59.60 billion.

Wedbush analyst Matt Bryson reiterated his Outperform (Buy) rating and raised his 12-month target price from $210 to $230 on NVDA stock after the earnings announcement.

"We believe results (and guidance matched buy side hopes," Bryson writes. "And NVDA's reiteration of its previously targeted $500 billion in Blackwell/ Rubin revenues by end of calendar year 2026 (with 75% gross margins expected to hold through fiscal year 2027), again suggests upside vs. our/Street consensus numbers (particularly with management's commentary implying probable upside to this number)."

Thursday (11/20)

Earnings calendar spotlight: Walmart

Walmart (WMT) will offer perspective on things more prosaic than AI revolutions, such as how American consumers are spending money to feed and clothe themselves amid persistent signs of rising economic distress. It will also shed light on uncertainty exacerbated by the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

Walmart is both the biggest retailer and the biggest private employer in the world. We'll see what its numbers and its managers say when the company unveils its fiscal 2026 third-quarter earnings before Thursday's opening bell.

Wall Street expects EPS of 60 cents (+3.4% YoY) on revenue of $175.14 billion (+4.3% YoY). Jefferies analyst Corey Tarlowe sees 61 cents per share: "While management may sound cautious given macro risks, results should beat expectations."

In a November 11 note, Tarlowe forecast U.S. comparable sales growth of 4.4% vs 3.9% for the consensus, "supported by balanced ticket and traffic gains," with Sam's Club growth of 5.0% "driven by resilient traffic and member engagement."

The analyst also expects Walmart management to reiterate full-year guidance for EPS of $2.52 to $2.62 on sales growth of 3.75% to 4.75%. Tarlowe has a Buy rating on the large-cap stock with a 12-month target price of $120, implied upside of 16% based on WMT's November 11 closing price.
