Overview of Key Economic Events and Corporate Reports for the Week of February 9-13, 2026
The upcoming week promises to be busy for global investors. Markets are anticipating several important macroeconomic releases—from inflation data to the delayed U.S. labor market report—as companies across various sectors publish quarterly earnings. Focus will be on corporations listed in the S&P 500, Euro Stoxx 50, Nikkei 225, and the Moscow Exchange (MOEX), including global brands such as Coca-Cola, Shopify, Cisco, Coinbase, and Moderna. Financial media note that companies from the automotive, consumer, technology, healthcare, energy, and other sectors will report at the same time. Investors will be closely monitoring not only profit numbers from the previous quarter but also management forecasts for 2026—the latter being the main “intrigue” of the season. Below is a day-by-day outline of the key events for the week 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 wholesale inventory data for December, which is unlikely to move the market significantly. Additionally, three representatives from the Federal Reserve will deliver speeches—including Christopher Waller and Raphael Bostic—and market participants will seek hints regarding the regulator's future policy.
- Key Corporate Reports: Before the market opens, results from investment firm Apollo Global Management (APO) and semiconductor manufacturer onsemi (ON) will be released. Analysts expect Apollo to comment on capital inflows into private equity funds, while onsemi is anticipated to provide guidance on chip demand in the automotive and electronics sectors. The medical technology giant Becton Dickinson and steel producer Cleveland-Cliffs will also report, offering insights into the healthcare and raw materials sectors.
- Post-Market Reports: Among several reports, the quarterly results of insurance group Loews Corporation (L) and financial company Principal Financial Group (PFG) stand out. These releases will help assess the dynamics in the insurance and investment businesses as 2025 comes to a close.
Tuesday, February 10, 2026
On Tuesday, business activity is expected to increase significantly. Economic events of the day include a series of important indicators from the U.S. Data releases are expected for retail sales in December (delayed until February due to the recent government shutdown), the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index, the Employment Cost Index (ECI) for Q4, as well as statistics on import prices and business inventories. This array of data will provide signals regarding consumer demand at the end of the year and cost pressures. Market attention will also turn to comments from Federal Reserve representatives (the President of the Cleveland Fed will speak), which may shed light on the regulator's response to the fresh statistics. Investors are preparing for this wave of macroeconomic information, as it could influence rate expectations.
Coca-Cola will publish results before the market opens on Tuesday. Analysts expect earnings per share to rise to $0.56 (+1.8% YoY) with revenues around $12.05 billion (+5.7% YoY). The company, operating in the consumer goods sector, is trading at a premium compared to its competitors, and the market is evaluating how justified the potential for further earnings growth is.
- Major Morning Reports (BMO): In addition to Coca-Cola (KO), before market open, pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca (AZN) will report—investors will evaluate its drug sales and new profit forecast. Also due in the morning are reports from the largest pharmacy chain CVS Health (CVS) and biotech firm Gilead Sciences (GILD). CVS's results will reveal spending trends in healthcare and insurance, while Gilead will report on its drug sales (notably in HIV and antiviral treatments). Other significant morning releases will include energy giant BP plc (BP) for Q4 2025—where cash flows from oil and gas will be critical—and data from automaker Honda Motor (HMC), which will provide insight into car demand in Asia. Furthermore, quarterly results will come from media holding Spotify (SPOT), power company Duke Energy (DUK), hotel operator Marriott International (MAR), luxury sports car manufacturer Ferrari (RACE), and chemical corporation Ecolab (ECL). These reports will cover a wide range of sectors—from technology to traditional industry—allowing for a comprehensive assessment of the economy overall.
- Main After-Market Reports (AMC): On Tuesday evening, the focus will shift to technology and finance sectors. Quarterly figures will be released by brokerage platform Robinhood Markets (HOOD) and fintech company Cloudflare (NET)—their results and forecasts will indicate trends in online trading and cloud services. Automotive giant Ford Motor (F) will report on earnings, where investors will be keen to understand the profitability of its EV business and supply chain comments. Reports from taxi service Lyft (LYFT) and online lender Upstart (UPST) will be significant for assessing the state of the services sector and consumer lending. Finally, after the close, results are expected from biopharma Gilead (if a press release comes in the morning, a conference call will follow in the evening) and insurance giant American International Group (AIG). In total, on Tuesday post-session, the market will receive signals from new and old economy companies—from internet businesses to traditional automotive sectors.
Wednesday, February 11, 2026
Midweek will see investor attention shifting to the labor market. The key event on Wednesday will be the U.S. employment report for January (Non-Farm Payrolls), publication of which was postponed from the usual first Friday of the month due to the government's temporary closure. It is expected that the data will show changes in employment numbers and unemployment rates, as well as average wage dynamics—critical indicators for the Federal Reserve. Any surprises in labor statistics could cause considerable market fluctuations, correcting rate expectations. Additionally, a report on the federal budget execution for January, reflecting the state of public finances in the U.S., will be released. From official speeches, one of the Fed’s leaders, Michelle Bowman, will speak, whose comments will help gauge the regulator's reaction to fresh macro data.
Shopify (SHOP) will publish its financial results before the market opens on Wednesday. According to analysts, its earnings for Q4 are forecasted to be $0.51 per share, approximately 16% higher than last year's level, with revenues around $3.6 billion (+27.7% YoY). Experts expect that Shopify's key metrics—gross merchandise volume (GMV), revenue, and operating income—will exceed forecasts due to the growth of e-commerce.
- Reports Before Market Open: Wednesday morning will bring several reports from major companies across various sectors. 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) will help assess the dynamics of spending on pharmaceuticals and medical services. Tech giant Cisco Systems (CSCO) will present results for its 2nd fiscal quarter—investors are eager to learn about revenue growth in the networking segment and demand forecasts from corporate clients. Additionally, Canadian energy equipment manufacturer Generac, hotel chain operator Hilton Worldwide, developer GlobalFoundries (a major contract chip manufacturer), and Chinese gaming company NetEase will report. Together, these releases (from consumer, telecoms, tech, and healthcare) will provide a holistic view of business activity.
- After-Market Reports: The main events on Wednesday evening will unfold in the technology and resources sectors. Special attention will be given to Cisco's report (which will be released after the close, though key figures may be disclosed in a morning press release). Cisco's results for Q2 of the 2026 financial year will serve as a bellwether for the entire IT infrastructure market. Software developer HubSpot (HUBS) will also report after the close—a significant barometer for the cloud SaaS market. In the semiconductor space, quarterly results will be shown by lithium-ion battery manufacturer QuantumScape (QS) and lithium producer Albemarle (ALB), which is relevant due to demand from electric vehicles. Among "new economy" companies, data will be presented by mobile gaming and advertising developer AppLovin (APP) and content provider Fastly (FSLY). Overall, on Wednesday evening, investors will receive fresh data from growth companies—this will help assess whether the high pace of technological business model expansion remains despite changing conditions.
Thursday, February 12, 2026
Thursday will center on the housing market and the continuation of corporate earnings reports. The macroeconomic calendar of the day includes secondary housing sale data in the U.S. for January, which will reveal the state of the American real estate market (important for banking and construction sectors). Traditionally, jobless claims statistics will also be released on Thursday—an operational indicator of the U.S. labor market. From international events, the UK will publish preliminary GDP estimates for Q4 2025 and industrial production figures for December early in the morning. These releases from Britain and the eurozone (including the EU trade balance for December) will provide new benchmarks for the global market. On that day, a two-day meeting of government officials on economic policy will begin in Russia (although no forum or summit is scheduled, news from the Kremlin is likely)—against the backdrop of volatile oil prices, investors will closely watch the official statements.
Coinbase Global (COIN) will report on Thursday after the market closes amid the recent drop in cryptocurrency prices. Over the past few months, Coinbase's shares have lost more than half of their value, yet analysts urge not to dramatize the situation surrounding the cryptocurrency sector. The consensus forecast for Coinbase's earnings for Q4 is about $1.01 per share (down from $4.68 a year earlier), with revenues of $1.85 billion (down 18% YoY), reflecting a decline in trading volumes in the crypto market.
- Morning Reports from Key Companies: Before the market opens on Thursday, reports will come from large corporations in both old and new economies. These include chip equipment manufacturer Applied Materials (AMAT) and network equipment developer Arista Networks (ANET)—their results will indicate demand conditions in the semiconductor industry and data centers. The European consumer sector will be reflected through the report of Anglo-Dutch FMCG giant Unilever (UL), while the biotech sector will see data from pharmaceutical company Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX). In addition, quarterly figures will be revealed by Canadian investment holding Brookfield (BN) and one of the largest online home retailers, Airbnb (ABNB). Additionally, several major Russian companies are expected to release earnings reports (in particular, operating results from various oil, gas, and metallurgical enterprises for January, although the financial results for Q4 usually appear later). These indicators will provide insights into export dynamics and raw material prices for the Russian economy.
- Main Reports After the Close: On Thursday evening, investors will experience the peak of the week in terms of significant releases. The largest of these will be the report from cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase (COIN), as mentioned above, as it reflects the state of the digital asset market. In addition, Q4 results will be presented by travel service Airbnb (ABNB) and electronics manufacturer Roku (ROKU)—both of which belong to the consumer entertainment sector. Automaker Rivian (RIVN) will report on its progress in EV production and is likely to announce plans for scaling up production. Reports from several "unicorns" of recent years—image search service Pinterest (PINS) and software development platform JFrog (FROG)—are also expected; their metrics are important for evaluating internet advertising and the B2B-DevOps market, respectively. Additionally, online gaming developer DraftKings (DKNG) and coffee chain Dutch Bros (BROS) will report, expanding insights into consumer spending on leisure and dining. From traditional companies, results will be presented by one of the largest global chip manufacturers Applied Materials (AMAT) and energy giant Enbridge (ENB). Thus, Thursday evening will become a true "celebration" of earnings, covering a wide array of sectors—from high technology to oil and gas.
Friday, February 13, 2026
The end of the week will be marked by perhaps the main macroeconomic event—the release of inflation data in the U.S. On Friday at 8:30 AM 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 robust, and draw conclusions regarding future actions by the Federal Reserve. Simultaneously, final GDP data for the eurozone for Q4 (second estimate) and the eurozone trade balance for December will be revealed—together, these will help gauge the state of the European economy at the beginning of the year. For Russia, Friday also holds significance: the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Russia will meet to discuss the key rate. The market expects the regulator may lower the rate from current elevated levels, considering the easing inflation, but much will depend on the dynamics of the ruble and budget. The decision from the Central Bank of Russia and the subsequent press conference from the head of the Central Bank (set to begin at 3 PM Moscow time) will draw interest not only from local but also from foreign investors monitoring risks in emerging markets.
- Corporate Reports of the Day: On the last day of the week, major publications are fewer. Before the market opens, Canadian pipeline company Enbridge (ENB) and biotech company Moderna (MRNA) will report. Investors are particularly interested in Moderna’s forecasts for vaccine and drug sales in 2026, as well as plans for the development of new mRNA treatments. Additionally, throughout the day, results will be released from a number of industrial companies, including auto parts giant Magna International and equipment manufacturer Zebra Technologies, as well as financial results from restaurant chain The Wendy’s Company. In Russia on Friday, a financial report from one of the systemically important banks may emerge (it is possible that Sberbank will release preliminary January data) and operational metrics from oil and gas companies for the past week. Although Friday is less eventful in corporate developments compared to the previous days, investors will closely analyze 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 stream of corporate news and critically important macroeconomic data, creating a volatile informational backdrop for the markets. On one hand, opportunities for investors lie in positive signals from companies: if several “barometers” across different sectors indicate resilient demand and confident forecasts for 2026, it will bolster belief in stable economic growth. It will be especially important to see if assessments from executives across various sectors—from consumer to technology—coincide regarding outlook: if numerous companies report similar trends (for instance, recovery in demand or easing inflation pressure), the market might factor these trends into stock prices. On the other hand, risks are also significant: data on U.S. inflation (CPI) and employment could intensify expectations for tightening or easing Fed policy, prompting sharp movements in the exchanges. Russian investors should consider the potential impact of the Central Bank's rate decision on the ruble and OFZ bonds. For global portfolios, this week will serve as a resilience test: high volatility is likely due to the simultaneous release of multiple pieces of news. However, diversification across sectors and regions may play to an advantage—weak results from some companies could be balanced by strong reports from others. Overall, a savvy investor will approach the end of the week with a fuller picture of macro conditions and corporate trends, helping to adjust strategies and identify new growth points even in the face of uncertainty.
