Retailers, biotechs, and at least one networking giant are all slated to report earnings
After the big October jobs report, we only get a bit of a breather before the data deluge ramps up again. Coming up in the week ahead, we have another round of employment data, wholesale inflation stats, and a fresh round of Fed speeches -- all of which should feed into the ongoing speculation over a December rate hike.
Meanwhile, the pace of earnings season has slowed, but there are still plenty of names set to report -- including a handful of biotechs, a raft of retailers, and one notable tech giant.
Below is a brief list of some key market events scheduled
for the upcoming week. All earnings dates listed below are tentative and subject
to change. Please check with each company's respective website for official
reporting dates.
