The week will be packed with earnings reports as well
Love is in the air next week, and so are a boatload of earnings and economic data. While the Valentine's Day week will start off slow, investors will have plenty to unpack, including data on retail sales, the import price index, and several key housing indicators. Plus, the Federal Reserve will release its latest meeting minutes on Wednesday.
Corporate earnings remain on the radar. Several big names will report next week, including Airbnb (ABNB), Bloomin' Brands (BLMN), Boston Beer (SAM), Crocs (CROX), Cisco Systems (CSCO), Deere (DE), DoorDash (DASH), Kraft Heinz (KHC), Roblox (RBLX), Roku (ROKU), Shopify (SHOP), ViacomCBS (VIAC), Walmart (WMT), Wynn Resorts (WYNN), and Yeti (YETI).
