Investors head into Monday with futures little changed and the week’s story already written: earnings. More than 90 S&P 500 companies are due to report, and the calendar is headlined by Netflix, Tesla, Meta Platforms and Intel, whose results will test whether the market’s AI trade still has momentum.
Analysts say the bar is set by spending as much as by profits. Meta’s capital-expenditure guidance and Tesla’s margins and delivery outlook are among the specific line items traders flagged in Sunday previews, alongside Netflix’s subscriber and advertising numbers and Intel’s progress in its turnaround.
The week also brings fresh inflation and housing data that could move rate expectations, with strategists cautioning that strong results may already be priced in after the market’s run. Energy names remain on watch lists as oil prices stay elevated and refiners report.
None of this is a recommendation to buy or sell any security; it is a summary of the disclosures and analyst previews shaping the next 24 hours of market coverage. Earnings season moves fast, and Monday’s futures calm may not survive the first big report.
