Blue-chips Cisco (CSCO), Coca-Cola (KO), and Walt Disney (DIS) will report earnings
The second week of February is relatively slow in terms of economic data, but there are still plenty of earnings reports for investors to sift through, including a few blue chips as well as a couple buzz-worthy start-ups. The spotlight of the week will be on the consumer side of things, with jobless claims taking a large part of the stage as they have done for nearly a year now.
Moving onto earnings reports, there's a slew of major companies slated to release earnings this week. The list includes AstraZeneca (AZN), Canopy Growth (CGC), Cisco Systems (CSCO), Coca-Cola (KO), Lyft (LYFT), Roku (ROKU), Twitter (TWTR), Uber (UBER), and Walt Disney (DIS).
Below is a list of key market events scheduled for the upcoming week. All economic dates listed below are tentative and subject to change.
Monday, Feb. 8, starts off slow, with no economic data to report.
Tuesday, Feb. 9 will bring the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS).
