The upcoming week promises to be eventful for global investors. Markets are anticipating several important macroeconomic releases—from inflation data to the delayed U.S. labor market report—while companies across various sectors will be publishing quarterly earnings. Focused on corporations within the S&P 500, Euro Stoxx 50, Nikkei 225, and MOEX indexes, including global brands like Coca-Cola, Shopify, Cisco, Coinbase, Moderna, and others. Financial media note that companies from the automotive industry, consumer sector, high technology, healthcare, energy, and more will report simultaneously. Investors will be paying attention not only to last quarter's profit figures but also to management forecasts for 2026—these predictions will become the main "intrigue" of the season. Below is a breakdown of the week's main events by day and their significance.
Monday, February 9, 2026
The week will start relatively quietly. The macroeconomic backdrop of Monday is modest: the U.S. will release final data on wholesale trade inventories for December, which is unlikely to significantly shift the market. Furthermore, three representatives of the U.S. Federal Reserve will deliver speeches—among them Christopher Waller and Raphael Bostic—and market participants will be looking for hints regarding the regulator's future policy.
- Key Corporate Reports: Before the market opens, results from investment firm Apollo Global Management (APO) and semiconductor manufacturer onsemi (ON) will be available.

Tuesday, February 10, 2026
Business activity will noticeably increase on Tuesday. Economic events of the day include a bloc of important indicators from the U.S. Expected are data on retail sales for December (this release was delayed until February due to a recent government shutdown), the NFIB small business optimism index, the Employment Cost Index (ECI) for Q4, as well as statistics on import prices and business inventories. This data set will signal the state of consumer demand at the end of the year and the cost pressure. The market will also focus on comments from Fed representatives (the President of the Cleveland Fed will speak), which may shed light on the regulator's response to the new statistics. Investors are preparing for this wave of macro information, as it could influence rate expectations.
*Coca-Cola will publish results before the market opens on Tuesday. Analysts expect earnings per share to rise to $0.56 (+1.8% y/y) with revenues around $12.05 billion (+5.7% y/y). The company, part of the consumer goods sector, trades at a premium to competitors, and the market will assess how justified the potential for further profit growth is.*
- Main Morning Reports (BMO): In addition to Coca-Cola (KO), pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca (AZN) will report before the market opens—investors will evaluate its drug sales and new profit forecasts. Also, in the morning, reports from the largest pharmacy chain CVS Health (CVS) and biotech firm Gilead Sciences (GILD) will come out. CVS’s results will reveal trends in healthcare and insurance spending, while Gilead will report sales of its drugs (notably in the HIV and antiviral segments). Among other significant morning releases are the quarterly results of energy conglomerate BP plc (BP) for Q4 2025, where cash flows from oil and gas are crucial, along with data from automaker Honda Motor (HMC), which will provide insight into vehicle demand in Asia.

Finally, after the close, results from biotech firm Gilead (if a press release is issued in the morning, a conference call will be held in the evening) and insurance giant American International Group (AIG) are expected. In total, on Tuesday after the session, the market will gain signals from companies across both old and new economies—ranging from internet businesses totraditional automotive industry.
Wednesday, February 11, 2026
Midweek, investors will shift their attention to the labor market. The key event of Wednesday is the U.S. January employment report (Non-Farm Payrolls), rescheduled from the usual first Friday of the month due to the government shutdown. It is expected that the data will show changes in job numbers and unemployment rates, as well as trends in average wages—critical indicators for the Federal Reserve. Any surprises in labor statistics could cause significant market fluctuations, potentially altering rate expectations. Additionally, the U.S. will release its federal budget execution report for January, reflecting the state of governmental finances. Among the scheduled speeches will be one from Fed official Michelle Bowman, whose comments may provide insights into the regulator's response to recent macro data.
*Shopify (SHOP) will report its financial results before the market opens on Wednesday. Analysts predict Q4 earnings per share will be $0.51, approximately 16% higher than last year's figure, with revenues around $3.6 billion (+27.7% y/y). Experts expect Shopify's key metrics—gross merchandise volume (GMV), revenue, and operating profit—to surpass estimates due to e-commerce growth.*
- Reports Before Market Open: Wednesday morning will see several significant reports from major companies across various sectors. Included will be fast-food leader McDonald’s (MCD), telecom giant T-Mobile US (TMUS), insurance company Humana, and food conglomerate Kraft Heinz.

Also reporting after the close will be software developer HubSpot (HUBS)—a crucial barometer for the cloud SaaS market. In the semiconductor sector, quarterly results will be reported by lithium-ion battery manufacturer QuantumScape (QS) and lithium producer Albemarle (ALB), relevant given demand from electric vehicles.

Thursday, February 12, 2026
Thursday will focus on the housing market and continued corporate earnings reports. The day's macroeconomic calendar includes data on existing home sales in the U.S. for January, which will reflect the state of the American real estate market (important for banks and the construction sector). Additionally, traditional Thursday statistics will include initial jobless claims—an immediate indicator of the U.S. labor market. Internationally, the UK will early publish preliminary GDP estimates for Q4 2025 and industrial production for December. Releases from the UK and Eurozone (including the EU trade balance for December) will provide new benchmarks for the global market. In Russia, a two-day meeting of government officials on economic policy will start—while no forum or summit is planned, news from the Kremlin may emerge—given the volatility in oil prices, investors will monitor official statements.
*Coinbase Global (COIN) will report on Thursday after market close amid a recent downturn in cryptocurrency prices. In recent months, Coinbase’s shares have lost more than half their value; however, analysts urge against dramatizing the situation within the cryptocurrency sector. The consensus forecast for Coinbase's Q4 earnings is around $1.01 per share (down from $4.68 year-on-year), with revenues of $1.85 billion (-18% y/y), reflecting a decline in trading volumes in the crypto market.*
- Morning Reports from Key Companies: Before market open on Thursday, reports will be presented by major corporations from both old and new economies. They include chip equipment manufacturer Applied Materials (AMAT) and networking equipment developer Arista Networks (ANET); their results will indicate demand conditions in the semiconductor sector and data centers. The European consumer sector will be reflected in the report from Anglo-Dutch FMCG giant Unilever (UL), and the biotechnology sector will be covered by Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX). Additionally, quarterly data will be unveiled by Canadian investment holding Brookfield (BN) and one of the largest online housing retailers Airbnb (ABNB). Also, prior to the open, reports from several large Russian companies are expected (particularly, operational results from various oil and gas and metallurgy enterprises for January, although financial reports for Q4 typically emerge later). These metrics will offer insights into export dynamics and commodity prices for the Russian economy.
- Key Reports After Market Close: Thursday evening will bring a peak of major releases for the week. The largest among them—Coinbase’s report (as mentioned above), reflecting the state of the digital asset market. Additionally, Q4 results will be released by travel service Airbnb (ABNB) and electronics manufacturer Roku (ROKU)—both are part of the entertainment consumer sector. Automaker Rivian (RIVN) will report on its electric vehicle production achievements and likely announce plans for increased output. Reports from several recent “unicorns” will emerge—visual search service Pinterest (PINS) and software development platform JFrog (FROG), whose figures are vital for assessing internet advertising and the B2B-DevOps market respectively. Also reporting will be online gaming developer DraftKings (DKNG) and coffee chain Dutch Bros (BROS), expanding insights into consumer spending on leisure and dining. Conventional companies reporting include one of the largest chip manufacturers Applied Materials (AMAT) and energy giant Enbridge (ENB). Thus, Thursday evening will indeed be a “celebration” of earnings reports, covering the full spectrum of sectors—from high tech to oil and gas.
Friday, February 13, 2026
The conclusion of the week will feature what may be the most crucial macroeconomic event—the release of inflation data in the U.S. On Friday at 8:30 ET, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for January will be published. This release traditionally triggers increased volatility: investors will judge whether inflation is slowing or remains stubborn and draw conclusions about the Fed's future actions. Concurrently, final GDP data for the Eurozone for Q4 will be released (the second estimate) alongside the Eurozone trade balance for December—these will aid in understanding the state of the European economy at the start of the year. For Russia, Friday is critical as well: a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Russia on the key rate will occur. The market anticipates that the regulator may lower the rate from its current elevated levels, considering the slowing inflation; however, much will depend on the dynamics of the ruble and the budget. The Central Bank’s decision and the subsequent press conference by its head (starting at 15:00 MSK) will draw attention not only from local but also from foreign investors tracking risks in emerging markets.
- Corporate Reports of the Day: The last day of the week features fewer major releases. Before the market opens, Canadian pipeline company Enbridge (ENB) and biotech company Moderna (MRNA) will report. Investors are particularly interested in Moderna's forecasts regarding vaccine and drug sales in 2026, as well as plans for new mRNA drug development. Additionally, throughout the day, results from several industrial companies will emerge, including auto parts giant Magna International and equipment manufacturer Zebra Technologies, alongside financial results from restaurant chain The Wendy’s Company. In Russia on Friday, financial reports from one of the systemically important banks may be released (it is possible that Sberbank will publish preliminary figures for January) and operational indicators from oil and gas companies for the past week. Although Friday is less eventful in terms of corporate occurrences than previous days, investors will closely examine each release to complete the informational mosaic of the week.
Investor Summary: Risks and Opportunities of the Week
The week of February 9-13, 2026, combines a powerful flow of corporate news and critically important macroeconomic data, creating a volatile informational backdrop for the markets. On one hand, opportunities for investors lie in positive signals from companies: if several "barometers" from different sectors indicate sustained demand and a confident forecast for 2026, it will strengthen faith in stable economic growth. Especially important will be whether the assessments of top managers across sectors—from consumer to technology—align concerning growth prospects: if numerous companies report similar trends (such as recovery in demand or easing inflationary pressures), the market may incorporate these tendencies into stock prices. On the other hand, risks are also significant: data on U.S. inflation (CPI) and employment could amplify expectations for tightening or loosening Fed policy, causing sharp market movements. Russian investors should consider the potential response of the ruble and OFZ to the Central Bank of Russia's rate decision. For global portfolios, this week will serve as a stress test: high volatility is likely given the simultaneous release of numerous news items. Nevertheless, diversification across sectors and regions could work in their favor—weak results from some companies could be offset by strong reports from others. Overall, a savvy investor will approach the end of the week with a fuller view of macro conditions and corporate trends, assisting in adjusting strategies and finding new growth opportunities even amidst uncertainty.
