Overview of Key Economic Events and Corporate Reports for the Week of February 9–13, 2026
The upcoming week promises to be eventful for global investors. Markets are anticipating several important macroeconomic releases—from inflation data to a delayed report on the US labor market—while companies across various sectors will be publishing quarterly earnings. Focus will be on corporations within the S&P 500, Euro Stoxx 50, Nikkei 225, and MOEX indices, including global brands such as Coca-Cola, Shopify, Cisco, Coinbase, Moderna, and others. Financial media note that companies from the automotive sector, consumer goods, technology, healthcare, energy, and other industries will issue their reports simultaneously. Investors will be watching not only for last quarter's earnings numbers but also for management's forecasts for 2026—these predictions will become the main “intrigue” of the season. Below, the key events of the week are outlined by day along with their significance.
Monday, February 9, 2026
The week will start relatively quietly. The macroeconomic backdrop for Monday is modest: the final data for wholesale inventories in the US for December will be published, which are unlikely to move the market significantly. Additionally, three representatives from the US Federal Reserve will deliver speeches—including Christopher Waller and Raphael Bostic—and market participants will be looking for hints regarding the regulator's future policies.
- Key Corporate Reports: Before the market opens, results will be released from investment firm Apollo Global Management (APO) and semiconductor manufacturer onsemi (ON). Analysts expect comments from Apollo regarding capital inflows into private equity funds and a demand forecast for chips in the automotive and electronics sectors from onsemi. Also reporting will be healthcare technology giant Becton Dickinson and steel company Cleveland-Cliffs, providing insight into the medical and materials sectors' conditions.
- After Market Close: Among several reports, the quarterly results from insurance group Loews Corporation (L) and financial firm Principal Financial Group (PFG) can be highlighted. These releases will help gauge the dynamics within the insurance and investment sectors at the end of 2025.
Tuesday, February 10, 2026
Tuesday will see a significant uptick in business activity. The economic events of the day include a whole array of important indicators from the US. Data on retail sales for December is expected to be released (due to a recent government shutdown, this release was delayed until February), along with the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index, the Employment Cost Index (ECI) for Q4, and statistics on import prices and business inventories. 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 officials (the head of the Cleveland Fed will speak) which could shed light on the regulator's reaction to the fresh statistics. Investors are preparing for this wave of macro data as it could impact interest rate expectations.
Coca-Cola will announce its results before the market opens on Tuesday. Analysts expect earnings per share to rise to $0.56 (+1.8% y/y) with revenue around $12.05 billion (+5.7% y/y). The consumer goods sector company trades at a premium to competitors, and the market is evaluating how justified its potential for further earnings growth is.
- Key Morning Reports (BMO): In addition to Coca-Cola (KO), pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca (AZN) will report before the market opens—investors will evaluate its drug sales and new profit forecasts. Also, the largest pharmacy chain CVS Health (CVS) and biotech firm Gilead Sciences (GILD) will publish reports. CVS's performance will illustrate trends in healthcare and insurance spending, while Gilead will report on its sales (particularly in the HIV and antiviral segments). Other significant morning releases include energy conglomerate BP plc (BP) for Q4 2025, crucial for cash flows from oil and gas, and data from automaker Honda Motor (HMC), which will provide insight into car demand in Asia. Additionally, quarterly results will be presented by media holding Spotify (SPOT), energy company Duke Energy (DUK), hotel operator Marriott International (MAR), sports car manufacturer Ferrari (RACE), and chemical corporation Ecolab (ECL). This array of reports covers a wide range of industries—from technology to traditional manufacturing—allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of the economy.
- Key Reports After Market Close (AMC): On Tuesday evening, attention will shift to the technology and financial sectors. Reporting Q4 numbers will be brokerage platform Robinhood Markets (HOOD) and fintech company Cloudflare (NET)—their results and forecasts will point towards trends in online trading and cloud services. Automotive giant Ford Motor (F) will report its earnings, where investors will be interested in the EV business's profitability and comments on supply chains. Reports are also expected from ride-sharing service Lyft (LYFT) and online lender Upstart (UPST), crucial for assessing the state of the service sector and consumer credit. Finally, after the close, the biopharmaceutical company Gilead is set to release results (if a press release is issued in the morning, an earnings call will occur in the evening) along with insurance giant American International Group (AIG). Collectively, on Tuesday after the session, the market will receive signals from both new and legacy economy companies—from internet enterprises to traditional automotive manufacturing.
Wednesday, February 11, 2026
Midweek, investor attention turns to the labor market. The key event on Wednesday is the January employment report from the US (Non-Farm Payrolls), which was rescheduled from the usual first Friday of the month due to the temporary government shutdown. It is expected that the data will show changes in employment levels and the unemployment rate, as well as trends in average wage growth—critical indicators for the Federal Reserve. Any surprises in labor statistics could lead to notable market fluctuations, potentially adjusting interest rate expectations. Additionally, the US will release the federal budget report for January, reflecting the state of government finances. Among official speeches, one of the Fed's key officials, Michelle Bowman, will speak, whose comments may clarify the regulator's response to the latest macro data.
Shopify (SHOP) is set to publish its financial results before the market opens on Wednesday. Analysts estimate that its Q4 earnings will be $0.51 per share, approximately 16% higher than last year's level, with revenue anticipated around $3.6 billion (+27.7% y/y). Experts predict that key Shopify metrics—gross merchandise sales (GMV), revenue, and operating profit—will exceed forecasts due to the growth in e-commerce.
- Reports Before Market Open: Several large companies from various sectors will release reports on Wednesday morning. Among them are fast-food leader 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 chain performance will help shed light on healthcare and pharmaceutical spending trends. Tech giant Cisco Systems (CSCO) will present results for its Q2 financial quarter—investors are expecting data on revenue growth in network equipment and demand forecasts from corporations. Additionally, Canadian energy equipment manufacturer Generac, hotel network operator Hilton Worldwide, developer GlobalFoundries (a major contract chip manufacturer), and Chinese gaming company NetEase will report. Overall, these releases (in consumer goods, communications, technology, and healthcare) will provide a holistic view of business activity.
- Reports After Market Close: Wednesday evening will focus on the technology and commodities sectors. Particular attention will be paid to Cisco as its report will be released after the market closes, although key numbers may be revealed in a morning press release. Cisco's results for its Q2 of FY2026 will serve as a bellwether 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 presented by battery manufacturer QuantumScape (QS) and lithium producer Albemarle (ALB), which is relevant given electric vehicle demand. From the “new economy” sector, mobile game and advertisement developer AppLovin (APP) and content provider Fastly (FSLY) will release data. In general, Wednesday evening will provide fresh data from growth companies—this will help ascertain whether the rapid expansion of technology business models remains sustained amidst changing market conditions.
Thursday, February 12, 2026
Thursday will shift focus to the housing market and the ongoing flow of corporate earnings reports. The macroeconomic calendar for the day includes data on existing home sales in the US for January, which will illustrate the condition of the American real estate market (important for banks and the construction sector). Traditional Thursday statistics on initial jobless claims will also be released—an operational indicator of the US labor market. From international events, early in the morning, the UK will publish preliminary GDP estimates for Q4 2025 and industrial production data for December. These releases from the UK and eurozone (including the EU trade balance for December) will provide new benchmarks for global markets. Furthermore, a two-day meeting of government officials regarding economic policy will commence in Russia (although no formal forum or summit is planned, news from the Kremlin is likely)—investors will be attentive to official statements amidst volatile oil prices.
Coinbase Global (COIN) will report on Thursday after the market closes amid recent declines in cryptocurrency prices. Over the past months, Coinbase shares have lost more than half their value, however, analysts are urging not to dramatize 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 prior) with revenues of $1.85 billion (-18% y/y), reflecting a decrease in trading volumes in the crypto market.
- Key Morning Company Reports: Before trading begins on Thursday, major corporations from both old and new economies will report. These include chip equipment manufacturer Applied Materials (AMAT) and networking equipment developer Arista Networks (ANET); their results will indicate demand conditions in the semiconductor sector and data centers. The European consumer sector will be reflected through the report from Anglo-Dutch FMCG giant Unilever (UL), while the biotechnological sector will see results from pharmaceutical company Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX). Additionally, quarterly results will be disclosed by Canadian investment holding Brookfield (BN) and one of the largest online housing retailers, Airbnb (ABNB). Several significant Russian companies are also expected to report (in particular, operating results from various oil, gas, and metallurgical enterprises for January, although financial results for Q4 typically come later). These figures will give insight into the dynamics of exports and raw material pricing for the Russian economy.
- Major Reports After Market Close: Thursday evening will witness a peak in the week’s number of major releases. The largest among them will be the report from cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase (COIN), as mentioned earlier, which reflects the state of the digital asset market. Following this, Q4 results will be shared by travel service Airbnb (ABNB) and electronics producer Roku (ROKU)—both of which belong to the consumer entertainment sector. Automotive manufacturer Rivian (RIVN) will discuss its achievements in electric vehicle production 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), which are key to assessing internet advertising and the B2B DevOps market, respectively. Moreover, the online gaming developer DraftKings (DKNG) and coffee chain Dutch Bros (BROS) will release results, broadening the understanding of consumer spending on leisure and restaurants. From traditional companies, results will be presented by one of the world’s largest chip manufacturers Applied Materials (AMAT) and energy giant Enbridge (ENB). Thus, Thursday evening will become a true “celebration” of earnings reports, covering a wide range of industries—from high technology to oil and gas.
Friday, February 13, 2026
The end of the week will be marked by perhaps the most significant macroeconomic event—the release of inflation data in the US. On Friday at 8:30 ET, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for January will be published. This release traditionally causes heightened volatility: investors will assess whether inflation is slowing down or remaining persistent and will draw conclusions about future actions from the Fed. At the same time, final data for eurozone GDP for Q4 (the second estimate) and eurozone trade balance for December will be announced—these will help understand the condition of the European economy at the start of the year. For Russia, Friday is also important: the Board of Directors of the Bank of Russia will meet to discuss the key interest rate. The market anticipates that the regulator may lower the rate from its currently elevated levels, considering the easing of inflation, but much will depend on the dynamics of the ruble and budget. The Central Bank's decision and the subsequent press conference from the head of the Bank of Russia (starting at 15:00 Moscow time) will attract attention not only from local but also from foreign investors tracking risks in emerging markets.
- Corporate Reports of the Day: On the last day of the week, significant releases are fewer. Before the market opens, Canadian pipeline company Enbridge (ENB) and biotechnology firm Moderna (MRNA) will report. Investors are particularly interested in forecasts from Moderna regarding vaccine and drug sales in 2026, as well as plans for developing new mRNA products. Additionally, throughout the day, results from several industrial companies will be disclosed, including automotive components giant Magna International and equipment manufacturer Zebra Technologies, as well as the financial results of restaurant chain The Wendy’s Company. In Russia, financial results may be released from one of the systemic banks (it is possible that Sberbank will publish preliminary data for January) and operational indicators from oil and gas companies for the past week. Although Friday is less packed with corporate events than previous days, investors will scrutinize each publication, completing the informational mosaic of the week.
Conclusion for Investors: Risks and Opportunities for the Week
The week of February 9–13, 2026, combines a powerful stream of corporate news and critically important macroeconomic data, creating a volatile informational backdrop for 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 2026 outlook, it will bolster faith in stable economic growth. Particularly crucial will be whether top executives from various sectors—from consumer goods to technology—align on outlook prospects: if many companies report similar trends (for example, in demand recovery or easing inflationary pressures), the market may factor these trends into stock prices. On the other hand, risks are also significant: data on US inflation (CPI) and employment could intensify expectations of either tightening or easing Fed policies, causing sharp movements in stock markets. Russian investors should be mindful of how the ruble and OFZ (government bonds) may react to the Central Bank’s rate decision. For global portfolios, this week presents a strength test: high volatility is likely due to the simultaneous release of numerous pieces of news. However, diversification across sectors and regions may work to their advantage—weak results from some companies may be offset by strong reports from others. Overall, a savvy investor will approach the end of the week with a more comprehensive understanding of macro conditions and corporate trends, aiding in strategy adjustments and identifying new growth points even amidst uncertainty.
