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 (8/18)

Tuesday (8/19)

Earnings calendar preview: Home Depot

Home Depot (HD) will offer a look at consumer behavior and the impact of tariffs when it reports fiscal 2025 second-quarter earnings before Tuesday's opening bell. The consumer discretionary stock has enjoyed a double-digit rally over the past month, rising 10.0% since July 14 vs 3.4% for the S&P 500 after lagging the index for much of 2025.

Wall Street expects the big-box retailer to report earnings of $4.70 per share (+2.2% year over year) on revenue of $45.3 billion (+5.0% YoY).

In an August 13 research note, Truist Securities analyst Scot Ciccarelli reiterated his Buy rating on HD stock and raised his 12-month target price from $417 to $433. "Despite macro pressures," Ciccarelli writes, citing interest rates and a stagnant housing market, "the company’s core business has slowly, but steadily improved on a stacked basis over the last few quarters."

Ciccarelli expects Home Depot to report its third straight quarter of positive U.S. comparable sales numbers, margins to be relatively stable, and for management to maintain its full-year guidance.

"We believe Home Depot is well positioned to continue to take share in virtually any home improvement environment," the analyst concludes, highlighting management's comfort "with its ability to manage tariffs, without having to resort to widespread price increases due to its strong buying power and sourcing diversification."

Earnings calendar preview: Walmart

Walmart (WMT), the biggest retailer in the world and a compelling bellwether for President Donald Trump's tariffs, will attract attention from investors, traders and speculators everywhere when it reports fiscal 2026 second-quarter earnings before Thursday's opening bell.

Wall Street expects the Dow Jones stock to report earnings of 74 cents per share (+10.4% YoY) on revenue of $174.2 billion (+3.8% YoY).

"Given WMT's outsized role in the U.S. retail landscape," writes UBS analyst Michael Lasser in an August 6 research note, "the market will closely dissect its earnings print and commentary for any insights into pricing, behavior, and competitive dynamics in the second half."

Lasser, who has a Buy rating and a $110 12-month target price for WMT stock, expects Walmart's report will show the retailer "sustained its top-line momentum" in the second quarter despite tougher comparables in the U.S., helped by growth in grocery, health and wellness, and ecommerce.

"The market also will pay attention to the health of the consumer in light of recent price hikes across retail," Lasser observes. "Specifically, we think WMT's 2Q print will underscore that consumer demand has remained steady so far. It also should signal that tariff-related pricing was not a meaningful driver in the quarter."
