Overview of Key Economic Events and Corporate Reports for the Week of February 9–13, 2026
The upcoming week is poised to be eventful for global investors. Markets are anticipating several significant macroeconomic releases—from inflation data to the delayed U.S. labor market report—while companies across various sectors are set to publish their quarterly earnings. The focus will be on corporations from the S&P 500, Euro Stoxx 50, Nikkei 225, and MOEX indices, including global brands like Coca-Cola, Shopify, Cisco, Coinbase, Moderna, and others. Financial media highlight that companies from the automotive sector, consumer goods, technology, healthcare, energy, and other industries will report simultaneously. Investors will be keeping an eye on not only last quarter’s earnings figures but also management’s forecasts for 2026—the forecasts are expected to be the main “intrigue” of the season. Below is a day-by-day outline of the major events of the week and their significance.
Monday, February 9, 2026
The week will start relatively quietly. Monday's macroeconomic backdrop is modest: the final wholesale inventory data for December will be released in the U.S., which is unlikely to significantly move the market. Additionally, three representatives of the U.S. Federal Reserve will deliver speeches—including Christopher Waller and Raphael Bostic—and market participants will be searching for clues regarding the regulator's future policy.
- Key Corporate Reports: Before the market opens, results from investment company Apollo Global Management (APO) and semiconductor manufacturer onsemi (ON) will be released. Analysts are anticipating comments from Apollo regarding capital inflows into private equity funds, and from onsemi, a forecast of chip demand in the automotive and electronics industries. Reports will also be provided by medical technology giant Becton Dickinson and steel producer Cleveland-Cliffs, allowing for an assessment of the status of the healthcare and raw materials sectors.
- After Market Close: Among several reports, the quarterly results from insurance group Loews Corporation (L) and financial company Principal Financial Group (PFG) will be notable. These releases will help assess the dynamics in the insurance and investment business at the end of 2025.
Tuesday, February 10, 2026
On Tuesday, business activity will significantly increase. The day’s economic events include a block of important indicators from the U.S. It is expected that retail sales data for December (delayed due to a recent government shutdown) will be released, as well as the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index, the Employment Cost Index (ECI) for Q4, alongside statistics on import prices and business inventories. This data will signal consumer demand's state at the end of the year and cost pressures. Market attention will also be drawn to comments from Fed representatives (the head of the Cleveland Fed will speak), which could shed light on the regulator’s response to fresh statistics. Investors are preparing for this wave of macroeconomic information, as it may impact rate expectations.
*Coca-Cola will report its results before the market opens on Tuesday. Analysts expect earnings per share to grow to $0.56 (+1.8% year-over-year) with revenue around $12.05 billion (+5.7% year-over-year). As a company in the consumer goods sector, it trades at a premium to competitors, and the market will assess how justified the potential for further earnings growth is.*
- Main Morning Reports (BMO): In addition to Coca-Cola (KO), pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca (AZN) will present its report before the market opens—investors will evaluate its drug sales and new profit forecasts. A report from the largest pharmacy chain CVS Health (CVS) and biotech firm Gilead Sciences (GILD) will also be released in the morning. CVS’s results will showcase trends in healthcare spending and insurance, while Gilead’s will cover its drug sales (particularly in the fields of HIV and antiviral treatments). Among other notable morning releases will be the report from energy conglomerate BP plc (BP) for Q4 2025, where cash flows from oil and gas are crucial, and data from automaker Honda Motor (HMC) will provide insight into demand for cars in Asia. Additionally, quarterly results will be published 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). These reports will cover a wide array of industries—from technology to traditional manufacturing—allowing for an assessment of the economy as a whole.
- Key Reports After Market Close (AMC): Tuesday evening will shift the focus to the technology and financial sectors. Brokerage platform Robinhood Markets (HOOD) and fintech company Cloudflare (NET) will present their Q4 figures—these results and forecasts will indicate trends in online trading and cloud services. Automotive giant Ford Motor (F) will report its earnings, where investors will be keen on the profitability of its EV business and comments on supply chains. Reports will also come from ride-hailing service Lyft (LYFT) and online lender Upstart (UPST), which are important for assessing the health of the service sector and consumer lending. Finally, after the market closes, we expect to see the results from biopharma Gilead (if a press release goes out in the morning, a conference call on the results will occur in the evening) and insurance giant American International Group (AIG). Collectively, Tuesday evening will provide the market with signals from both new and traditional economies—from internet businesses to the automotive industry.
Wednesday, February 11, 2026
Midweek, investor attention will shift to the labor market. The key event on Wednesday will be the U.S. jobs report (Non-Farm Payrolls), which has been postponed from the customary first Friday of the month due to the temporary government shutdown. The data is expected to show changes in employment numbers and the unemployment rate, as well as trends in average wage growth—critically important indicators for the Federal Reserve. Any surprises in labor statistics could lead to significant market fluctuations, adjusting rate expectations. Additionally, a report on the federal budget execution for January will be released in the U.S., reflecting the state of government finances. Among official speeches, one of the Fed leaders, Michelle Bowman, will give a speech, and her comments will help interpret the regulator's reaction to fresh macro data.
*Shopify (SHOP) will publish its financial results before the market opens on Wednesday. Analysts estimate its earnings for Q4 to be $0.51 per share, about 16% higher than last year, with revenue around $3.6 billion (+27.7% year-over-year). Experts expect that key metrics for Shopify—Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV), revenue, and operating profit—will exceed forecasts due to the growth in e-commerce.*
- Reports Before Market Opening: Wednesday morning will feature reports from several major companies across various sectors. Notable among them are fast-food leader McDonald’s (MCD), telecom giant T-Mobile US (TMUS), insurance company Humana, and food conglomerate Kraft Heinz. The results from CVS Health (CVS) will help understand trends in pharmaceutical and medical service expenses. Tech giant Cisco Systems (CSCO) will present its results for its 2nd fiscal quarter—investors will look for data on revenue growth in the networking equipment sector and forecasts for corporate demand. Additionally, Canadian energy equipment manufacturer Generac, hotel chain operator Hilton Worldwide, developer GlobalFoundries (a major contract chip manufacturer), and Chinese gaming company NetEase will also be reporting. Collectively, these releases (from consumer goods, telecom, technology, and healthcare) will provide a comprehensive picture of business activity.
- Reports After Market Close: Wednesday evening, the main events will unfold in the technology and raw materials sectors. Particular attention will be given to the report from Cisco (which will be released after hours, although key figures may be known from a press release in the morning). Cisco’s Q2 2026 financial results will serve as an indicator for the IT infrastructure market. Also reporting after hours will be software developer HubSpot (HUBS)—a key barometer for the cloud SaaS market. In the semiconductor space, lithium-ion battery manufacturer QuantumScape (QS) and lithium producer Albemarle (ALB) will show quarterly results, relevant against the backdrop of demand from electric vehicles. From the “new economy” sector, mobile game and advertising developer AppLovin (APP) and content provider Fastly (FSLY) will report. Overall, Wednesday evening will provide investors with fresh data from growth companies—helping to gauge whether the high pace of technology business model expansion persists amid changing market conditions.
Thursday, February 12, 2026
On Thursday, the focus will shift to the housing market and the continuing stream of corporate reports. The macroeconomic calendar includes data on existing home sales in the U.S. for January, which will showcase the state of the American real estate market (important for banks and the construction sector). Additionally, traditional figures on initial jobless claims will be released—an operational indicator of the U.S. labor market. Among 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 the UK and the Eurozone (including the EU trade balance for December) will provide the global market with new benchmarks. In Russia, a two-day meeting of government officials regarding economic policy will commence—although no forum or summit is scheduled, news from the Kremlin may arise—investors will be watching for official statements in light of volatile oil prices.
*Coinbase Global (COIN) will report on Thursday after market close in the context of the recent drop in cryptocurrency prices. Over the past few months, Coinbase's stock has lost more than half its value; however, analysts urge not to dramatize the situation surrounding the cryptocurrency sector. The consensus estimate for Coinbase’s Q4 earnings is about $1.01 per share (down from $4.68 a year prior) with revenue of $1.85 billion (-18% year-over-year), reflecting the decline in trading volumes in the crypto market.*
- Morning Reports from Key Companies: Before trading begins on Thursday, leading companies from both old and new economies will present their reports. These will include chip manufacturing equipment producer Applied Materials (AMAT) and networking equipment developer Arista Networks (ANET): their results will indicate the state of demand in the semiconductor industry and data centers. The European consumer sector will be reflected through the report of UK-Dutch FMCG giant Unilever (UL), while the biotech sector will be represented by pharmaceutical company Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX). Additionally, quarterly data will be provided by Canadian investment holding Brookfield (BN) and one of the largest online home retailers Airbnb (ABNB). Also, several major Russian companies will report before the market opens (operational results from various oil, gas, and metallurgy enterprises for January are expected, although financial reports for Q4 typically appear later). These figures will provide insight into the dynamics of exports and commodity prices for the Russian economy.
- Main Reports After Market Close: Thursday evening will see the peak of the week in terms of major releases. The largest among them will be the report from cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase (COIN), mentioned earlier, as it reflects the state of the digital asset market. Additionally, results for Q4 will be announced by travel service Airbnb (ABNB) and electronics manufacturer Roku (ROKU)—both of which fall into the consumer entertainment sector. Automotive producer Rivian (RIVN) will report on its progress in releasing electric vehicles and likely outline plans for increased production. Reports from several recently minted “unicorns”—visual search service Pinterest (PINS) and software development platform JFrog (FROG)—will also be released, with their metrics important for evaluating online advertising and the B2B-DevOps market, respectively. Furthermore, online gaming developer DraftKings (DKNG) and coffee shop chain Dutch Bros (BROS) will report, broadening the understanding of consumer spending in leisure and food services. In the realm of traditional companies, chip manufacturing giant Applied Materials (AMAT) and energy giant Enbridge (ENB) will unveil results. Thus, Thursday evening will become a true "celebration" of reporting, covering the entire spectrum of industries—from high technology to oil and gas.
Friday, February 13, 2026
The week will wrap up with arguably the main macroeconomic event—the release of U.S. inflation data. On Friday at 8:30 AM ET, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for January will be published. This release traditionally triggers heightened volatility: investors will assess whether inflation is slowing down or remains strong and draw conclusions about future actions from the Fed. Simultaneously, final GDP data for the Eurozone for Q4 (second estimate) and the Eurozone trade balance for December will be made known—these will help in understanding 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 the regulator to potentially lower the rate from its currently elevated levels, considering the slowing inflation, but much will depend on the dynamics of the ruble and the budget. The CBR’s decision and the subsequent press conference from the head of the Bank of Russia (starting at 3:00 PM Moscow Time) will attract attention 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, fewer major publications are anticipated. Before the market opens, Canadian pipeline company Enbridge (ENB) and biotechnology company Moderna (MRNA) will report. Investors will be particularly interested in Moderna’s forecasts for its vaccine and drug sales in 2026, as well as plans for developing new mRNA-based treatments. Throughout the day, the results from various industrial companies, including auto-parts giant Magna International and equipment manufacturer Zebra Technologies, as well as financial outcomes from restaurant chain The Wendy’s Company, will also be disclosed. In Russia, financial reports from one of the systemic banks may emerge (it is possible that Sberbank will publish preliminary data for January) alongside operational indicators from oil and gas companies for the past week. Although Friday is generally less eventful in terms of corporate happenings than previous days, investors will pay close attention to each publication, piecing together the informational mosaic of the week.
Investor Outlook: Risks and Opportunities for the Week
The week of February 9–13, 2026, combines a robust flow 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” from different sectors indicate steady demand and strong forecasts for 2026, this could bolster confidence in stable economic growth. It will be particularly important to see whether the assessments from top executives across various sectors—from consumer goods to technology—align regarding prospects: if many companies report similar trends (for example, about recovering demand or easing inflationary pressures), the market could price these trends into stock prices. On the other hand, equally significant risks include the U.S. inflation (CPI) and employment data, which can heighten expectations of tightening or easing Fed policy, provoking sharp movements in the markets. Russian investors should consider the potential response of the ruble and OFZ 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 numerous news items. Nevertheless, sector and geographic diversification may prove advantageous—weak results from some companies could be offset by strong reports from others. Overall, a savvy investor will approach the week's end with a more comprehensive picture of macro conditions and corporate trends, helping to recalibrate strategy and identify new growth avenues even amid uncertainty.
