Overview of Key Economic Events and Corporate Reports for the Week of February 9–13, 2026
The upcoming week promises to be intensive for global investors. Markets are awaiting several significant macroeconomic releases—from inflation data to the postponed U.S. labor market report— as companies across various sectors publish their quarterly earnings. The focus will be on corporations from the S&P 500, Euro Stoxx 50, Nikkei 225, and Moscow Exchange (MOEX), including global brands such as Coca-Cola, Shopify, Cisco, Coinbase, and Moderna, among others. Financial media highlights that firms from the automotive industry, consumer sector, technology, healthcare, energy, and other sectors will report simultaneously. Investors will pay close attention not only to last quarter's earnings figures but also to management's forecasts for 2026—these projections will be the main "intrigue" of the season. Below is a day-by-day breakdown of the week's major events and their significance.
Monday, February 9, 2026
The week will begin relatively quietly. The macroeconomic backdrop for Monday is modest: the U.S. will publish final data on wholesale inventories for December, which are unlikely to sway the market significantly. Additionally, three Federal Reserve representatives, including Christopher Waller and Raphael Bostic, will deliver speeches, and market participants will search for hints regarding the regulator's future policies.
- Key Corporate Reports: Before market open, investment firm Apollo Global Management (APO) and semiconductor manufacturer onsemi (ON) will release their results. Analysts expect comments from Apollo regarding the inflow of capital into private equity funds, while from onsemi, indications on the demand for chips in the automotive and electronics sectors. The medical technology giant Becton Dickinson and steel company Cleveland-Cliffs will also report, providing insight into the state of the medical and raw materials sectors.
- After Market Close: Several reports will be highlighted, including quarterly results from insurance group Loews Corporation (L) and financial firm Principal Financial Group (PFG). These releases will help gauge dynamics in the insurance and investment businesses at the end of 2025.
Tuesday, February 10, 2026
Tuesday will see a notable increase in business activity. The economic events of the day include a host of crucial indicators from the U.S. Retail sales data for December (delayed due to the recent government shutdown) is anticipated, along with the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index, the Employment Cost Index (ECI) for Q4, as well as statistics on import prices and inventories in business. This wealth of data will signal the state of consumer demand at the end of the year and cost pressures. Market attention will also be drawn to comments from Fed representatives (the President of the Cleveland Fed is expected to speak), potentially illuminating the regulator's response to the latest statistics. Investors are gearing up for this wave of macro information, as it may affect interest rate expectations.
*Coca-Cola will publish its results before the market opens on Tuesday. Analysts expect earnings per share to grow to $0.56 (+1.8% YoY) with revenue around $12.05 billion (+5.7% YoY). The company, part of the consumer goods sector, trades at a premium to its competitors, and the market will assess the justification for further earnings growth potential.*
- Main Morning Reports (BMO): Besides Coca-Cola (KO), pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca (AZN) will release its report before market open—investors will evaluate its drug sales and new profit forecasts. The largest pharmacy chain CVS Health (CVS) and biotech firm Gilead Sciences (GILD) will also report in the morning. CVS's results will reveal trends in healthcare spending and insurance, while Gilead's report will cover sales of its drugs (especially in the field of HIV and antivirals). Other notable morning releases will include the quarterly results of energy conglomerate BP plc (BP) for Q4 2025, where cash flows from oil and gas are crucial, and data from automaker Honda Motor (HMC), which will provide insight into automotive demand in Asia. Additionally, quarterly earnings will be reported from media holding Spotify (SPOT), energy company Duke Energy (DUK), hotel operator Marriott International (MAR), sports car manufacturer Ferrari (RACE), and chemical corporation Ecolab (ECL). These reports span a wide range of sectors—from technology to traditional industries—allowing for a comprehensive assessment of the economy overall.
- Key Reports After Market Close (AMC): On Tuesday evening, the focus will shift to the technology and financial sectors. Brokerage platform Robinhood Markets (HOOD) and fintech company Cloudflare (NET) will present their Q4 figures—results and forecasts will indicate trends in online trading and cloud services. Automotive giant Ford Motor (F) will report earnings, where investors will be interested in the profitability of the EV business and comments on supply chains. Reports from ride-hailing service Lyft (LYFT) and online lender Upstart (UPST) will be essential for assessing the state of the service sector and consumer lending. Finally, after the close, a release from biotech Gilead is expected (if a press release is issued in the morning, a conference call will follow in the evening) and from insurance giant American International Group (AIG). Together, Tuesday evening will yield signals from companies across both new and traditional economies—from internet businesses to legacy automotive players.
Wednesday, February 11, 2026
Midweek, investor attention will turn to the labor market. The key event on Wednesday will be the January U.S. employment report (Non-Farm Payrolls), the publication of which was postponed from the usual first Friday of the month due to the temporary government shutdown. It is expected that the data will show changes in the number of jobs and the unemployment rate, as well as trends in average wages—critical indicators for the Federal Reserve. Any surprises in labor statistics could cause significant market fluctuations, adjusting expectations around interest rates. In addition, the U.S. will release its federal budget report for January, reflecting the state of public finances. Among the speeches by officials, Federal Reserve leader Michelle Bowman is expected to provide insights into how the regulator may respond to the latest macro data.
*Shopify (SHOP) will release its financial results before the market opens on Wednesday. Analysts estimate that its Q4 earnings will be around $0.51 per share, approximately 16% higher than last year, with revenue of about $3.6 billion (+27.7% YoY). Experts expect that Shopify's key metrics—sales volume on the platform (GMV), revenue, and operating income—will exceed forecasts driven by e-commerce growth.*
- Reports Before Market Open: On Wednesday morning, a number of reports from large companies across various sectors will be released. Among them are leading fast-food brand McDonald’s (MCD), telecom giant T-Mobile US (TMUS), insurance company Humana, and food conglomerate Kraft Heinz. The report from CVS Health (CVS) on pharmacy network results will help clarify trends in pharmaceutical and medical service expenditures. Tech giant Cisco Systems (CSCO) will present results for its second financial quarter—investors are expecting data on revenue growth in the networking equipment segment and demand forecasts from corporations. Additionally, Canadian energy equipment manufacturer Generac, hotel chain operator Hilton Worldwide, developer GlobalFoundries (a large contract chip manufacturer), and Chinese gaming company NetEase will report. Collectively, these releases (from consumer, communication, technology, and healthcare sectors) will provide a comprehensive picture of business activity.
- Reports After Market Close: On Wednesday evening, the main events will unfold in the technology and commodities sectors. Special attention will be on Cisco's report (it will be released after the close, though key figures may become known through a press release in the morning). Cisco's Q2 2026 financial results will serve as an indicator for the entire IT infrastructure market. Also reporting after the close will be software developer HubSpot (HUBS)—an important barometer for the cloud SaaS market. In the semiconductor space, quarterly results will be reported by lithium-ion battery manufacturer QuantumScape (QS) and lithium producer Albemarle (ALB), which are pertinent in light of demand from electric vehicles. Among the "new economy" companies, data will be provided by game and advertising developer AppLovin (APP) and content provider Fastly (FSLY). Overall, Wednesday evening will deliver fresh data from growth companies—this will help assess whether the high pace of expansion in technology business models continues amid changing conditions.
Thursday, February 12, 2026
Thursday will place housing markets and the continuing flow of corporate reports in the spotlight. The day's macroeconomic calendar includes data on existing home sales in the U.S. for January, which will indicate the state of the American real estate market (important for banks and the construction sector). Additionally, statistics on initial jobless claims—an ongoing labor market indicator—will traditionally be released on Thursday. Internationally, the UK will release preliminary estimates of GDP for Q4 2025 and industrial production data for December early Thursday morning. These releases from the UK and Eurozone (including Eurozone trade balance data for December) will provide new benchmarks for global markets. In Russia, a two-day meeting of government officials on economic policy will begin on this day (although no forum or summit is planned, news from the Kremlin is possible)—investors are watching official statements amid oil price volatility.
*Coinbase Global (COIN) will report on Thursday after the market closes amid recent cryptocurrency price declines. Over the past months, Coinbase shares have lost over half their value, yet analysts urge against dramatizing the situation surrounding the cryptocurrency sector. The consensus forecast for Coinbase's Q4 earnings is around $1.01 per share (down from $4.68 a year earlier) with revenue of $1.85 billion (-18% YoY), reflecting a decline in trading volumes in the crypto market.*
- Key Company Reports in the Morning: Before the market opens on Thursday, major corporations from both the old and new economies will release their reports. These include chip equipment manufacturer Applied Materials (AMAT) and networking equipment developer Arista Networks (ANET)—their results will reflect demand status in the semiconductor industry and data centers. The European consumer sector will be represented through the report from Anglo-Dutch FMCG giant Unilever (UL), while the biotechnology sector will be highlighted through the report from pharmaceutical company Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX). Additionally, quarterly data will be released by Canadian investment holding Brookfield (BN) and one of the largest online housing retailers, Airbnb (ABNB). Reports from a number of major Russian companies are also expected (specifically, operational performance for some oil and gas and metallurgical enterprises in January, although financial reports for Q4 usually appear later). These indicators will provide insight into the dynamics of export and raw material prices for the Russian economy.
- Main Reports After Market Close: Thursday evening will present the peak of the week in terms of major releases. The largest of these will be the report from crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN), noted above, as it reflects the state of the digital asset market. Aside from this, Q4 results will be reported by travel service Airbnb (ABNB) and electronics manufacturer Roku (ROKU)—both of which belong to the consumer entertainment sector. Automaker Rivian (RIVN) will comment on its electric vehicle production successes and likely outline plans for increased output. Reports will also come from several recent “unicorns”—visual search service Pinterest (PINS) and software development platform JFrog (FROG), with their metrics important for assessing online advertising and the B2B DevOps market, respectively. Online gaming developer DraftKings (DKNG) and coffee chain Dutch Bros (BROS) will also provide results, broadening understanding of consumer spending on leisure activities and dining. Among traditional companies, one of the world's largest chip manufacturers, Applied Materials (AMAT), and energy giant Enbridge (ENB) will report results. Thus, Thursday evening will be a true "celebration" of earnings reports that encompass a wide range of industries—from high tech to oil and gas.
Friday, February 13, 2026
The week will conclude with what may be the most significant macroeconomic event—the release of inflation data in the United States. On Friday at 8:30 ET, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for January will be published. This release traditionally causes increased volatility: investors will assess whether inflation is slowing or remaining stable and draw conclusions about future Federal Reserve actions. Concurrently, final data for Eurozone GDP for Q4 (the second estimate) and the Eurozone trade balance for December will be released—these will help ascertain the state of the European economy at the beginning of the year. For Russia, Friday is also significant: a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Russia regarding the key rate will take place. The market expects that the regulator may lower the rate from its current elevated levels given the inflation slowdown, but much will depend on the dynamics of the ruble and the budget. The Central Bank's decision and the subsequent press conference by the head of the Central Bank of Russia (scheduled to begin at 3:00 PM MSK) will attract attention from both local and foreign investors monitoring risks in emerging markets.
- Corporate Reports of the Day: The last day of the week will see fewer major publications. Before market open, Canadian pipeline company Enbridge (ENB) and biotech firm Moderna (MRNA) will report. Investors will be particularly interested in Moderna's forecasts for vaccine and drug sales in 2026, as well as its plans for the development of new mRNA drugs. Throughout the day, results from several industrial companies, including auto component giant Magna International and equipment manufacturer Zebra Technologies, as well as financials from the restaurant chain The Wendy’s Company, will also be released. In Russia, there may be a financial report from one of the systemically important banks (it is possible that Sberbank will publish preliminary data for January) and operational metrics from oil and gas companies for the past week. While Friday is overall less saturated with corporate events than the previous days, investors will closely scrutinize each publication, completing the informational mosaic of the week.
Conclusion for Investors: Risks and Opportunities of the Week
The week of February 9–13, 2026, combines a powerful flow of corporate news and critically important macroeconomic data, creating a volatile backdrop for the markets. On one hand, opportunities for investors lie in positive signals from companies: if several “barometers” from different sectors indicate sustained demand and a confident forecast for 2026, this will reinforce faith in stable economic growth. It will be particularly important whether assessments from top executives across various sectors—from consumer to technology—align regarding prospects: if many companies report similar trends (for example, regarding demand recovery or easing inflationary pressures), the market may factor these trends into stock prices. On the other hand, significant risks also exist: U.S. inflation (CPI) and employment data may strengthen expectations for Federal Reserve tightening or easing policies, causing sharp market movements. Russian investors should consider the potential reaction of the ruble and OFZs to the Central Bank's rate decision. For global portfolios, this week will serve as a test of resilience: high volatility is likely due to the simultaneous release of multiple news items. However, sectoral and regional diversification can be advantageous—poor results from some companies may be offset by strong reports from others. Overall, an astute investor will approach the end of the week with a more complete picture of macro conditions and corporate trends, helping to adjust strategies and identify new growth points even amid uncertainty.
