Earnings calendar highlights

Monday (5/13)

Tuesday (5/14)

Earnings spotlight: Home Depot

Home Depot (HD) is one of several blue chip stocks on the earnings calendar, with the home improvement retailer's first-quarter results scheduled for release ahead of Tuesday's open.

Oppenheimer analyst Brian Nagel, who downgraded HD stock to Perform (Hold) earlier this year, said investors "are best served remaining on the sidelines" for a little longer. 

"Consumer demand trends within home improvement retail remain challenged and are likely to stay sluggish, at least through 2024, owing to ongoing post-pandemic dislocations, weaker underlying confidence, and historically subdued housing activity, aggravated by elevated rates," Nagel writes in a note to clients.

Nagel expects Home Depot to report first-quarter earnings per share of $3.49, which is below analysts' average estimate of $3.60 per share. For comparison, the company reported earnings of $3.82 per share in the year-ago period. Revenue is forecast to arrive at $36.7 billion, down 1.6% year-over-year (YoY).

Wednesday (5/15)

Earnings spotlight: Cisco Systems

Cisco Systems (CSCO) will disclose its fiscal third-quarter earnings after Wednesday's close. The stock fell more than 2% in February when it gave weaker-than-expected guidance for fiscal Q3. 

"In terms of the macro environment, we are seeing a greater degree of caution and scrutiny of deals given the high level of uncertainty," Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins said at the time. 

UBS Global Research analyst David Vogt (Neutral, the equivalent of Hold) says a recent survey indicates industry trends are improving. The analyst admits that he's reluctant to put too much emphasis on one survey, so he'll be looking to see if Cisco's commentary "confirms stabilization or improvement in enterprise end-markets."

Vogt will also be looking for color on Cisco's artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives, which could be a positive catalyst for the tech stock if any material updates are given.

Analysts, on average, expect the network equipment specialist to report earnings of 77 cents per share (-23% YoY) on revenue of $11.6 billion (-20.5% YoY).

Thursday (5/16)

Earnings spotlight: Walmart

Walmart (WMT) is one of the better-performing Dow Jones stocks of the year, up about 16% on a total return basis (price change plus dividends). 

UBS Global Research analyst Michael Lasser (Buy) thinks the discount retailer has generated "good momentum" off the price charts, too, even amid a volatile consumer spending backdrop, the noise sparked by an early Easter and headwinds facing lower-income consumers.

"We expect the details of [Walmart's] upcoming Q1 print and its outlook for the remainder of the year to provide more optimism on the sustainability of its recent share gains and its outperformance relative to the rest of retail," Lasser says. 

The analyst is forecasting earnings of 53 cents per share for WMT's first-quarter results, which are due out ahead of Thursday's open. This is a penny more than analysts' average estimate of 52 cents per share and above its year-ago result of 49 cents per share. 

Industry analysts expect revenue to land at $159.4 billion, up 4.7% year-over-year.
