Earnings calendar highlights

Monday (8/7)

Earnings spotlight: Palantir Technologies

Palantir Technologies (PLTR, $18.71) stock has been hot in recent months, with shares up 140% since early May. Fueling the upside has been optimism around the data analytics firm’s artificial intelligence (AI) efforts.

Indeed, Palantir’s AI initiatives prompted Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives to initiate coverage on the tech stock with an Outperform rating, which is the equivalent of a Buy. “We believe Palantir has built an AI fortress that is unmatched and poised to be a major player in this AI Revolution over the next decade,” Ives wrote in a note to clients.

The company’s “secret sauce,” Ives says, is its “extensive experience handling customer data,” which it can use to “drive advancements and deliver AI solutions powered by high-quality data.”

Wall Street will be looking for more updates on Palantir’s AI business when the company discloses its second-quarter results after Monday’s close. Analysts, on average, expect the firm to report earnings of 5 cents per share vs a loss of 1 cent per share in the year-ago period. Revenue is forecast to arrive at $532.7 million, up 12.6% year-over-year (YoY).

Tuesday (8/8)

Earnings spotlight: United Parcel Service

United Parcel Service (UPS, $181.50) made headlines recently as folks kept a close eye on contract negotiations between the logistics giant and its union workers. The two sides reached a tentative agreement in late July, averting a strike that would have created a major headache for the global economy.

UPS will stay in the news next week by reporting second-quarter earnings ahead of Tuesday’s open. Analysts expect UPS to log earnings of $2.50 per share (-24% YoY) on revenue of $23.1 billion (-6.7% YoY).

BofA Global Research analyst Ken Hoexter (Neutral, the equivalent of Hold) is looking for UPS to explain how it will counter rising costs associated with its new deal with the Teamsters. Hoexter anticipates “$1 billion in additional costs, which includes a material 30%+ jump in part-timer wages.” As for the company’s Q2 results, the analyst forecasts earnings of $2.48 per share.

Wednesday (8/9)

Earnings spotlight: Walt Disney

Earnings from Walt Disney (DIS, $85.49) are also due out next week, with the media and entertainment giant scheduled to unveil its fiscal-third quarter earnings after Wednesday’s close. Analysts, on average, expect DIS to report earnings of 97 cents per share (-11% YoY) on revenue of $22.5 billion (+4.6% YoY).

“We expect [the] fiscal third-quarter [report] to show continued pressure in advertising and linear operating income, slightly higher direct-to-consumer dilution and mixed Parks results,” says UBS Global Research analyst John Hodulik, who has a Buy rating on the Dow Jones stock. The analyst will also be watching for announcements on price hikes to the company’s Disney+ streaming service and updates on the launch of an ad-supported tier in Europe set for later this year.

Meanwhile, BofA Securities analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich (Buy) will be looking for color on several potential initiatives Disney CEO Bob Iger laid out last month in a CNBC interview. These include finding a strategic partner for ESPN and divesting the company’s linear assets.

Ehrlich says she remains “encouraged” about how these initiatives could possibly be executed as “DIS has best in class brands (e.g. ESPN in sports),” as well as “a very strong executive team, led by Bob Iger at the helm, which gives us confidence that the company can make these actions from a position of strength to create long-term value.”
