CoreWeave, Circle, Cisco: Earnings to watch this week
Yahoo Finance Markets Reporter Josh Schafer outlines the biggest earnings reports investors should watch for this week, starting Tuesday, Aug. 12. CoreWeave (CRWV) announces second quarter results on Tuesday after markets close. Circle (CRCL) will release its second quarter results on Tuesday before markets open — its first earnings report as a publicly traded company. Circle is expected to report revenue of $648 million and a loss of $1.01 per share. Cisco (CSCO) will deliver fourth quarter earnings after markets close on Wednesday. Analysts are expecting to see revenue growth in the results. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Asking for a Trend. Let's take a look at what to watch in earnings coming up. We're going to have Coreweave, Circle, and Cisco all reporting. Coreweave reporting its second quarter earnings after the market close on Tuesday. Investors watching the cloud software company after announcing it would acquire data center provider Core Scientific for $9 billion. That had been something that weighed on that stock over the course of this past quarter. Also, reporting on Tuesday is Circle, sharing its second quarter results before the market opens. The stable coin issuer is reporting its first quarter as a publicly traded company. Street consensus estimates expect Circle to report a loss of $1.01 per share in revenue of $648 million. Finally, Cisco reporting its fourth quarter results on Wednesday after the market close. Cisco, a communication equipment manufacturer, is expected to report a growth in revenue following declines throughout fiscal 2024. AI demand and Cisco's enterprise IT products are anticipated to be the key drivers there. Analysts say that 2026 guidance will be of greater focus for investors anticipating further product growth in spite of tariff uncertainty.

Inflation in focus as Fed rate cut debate heats up: What to watch this week
Stocks are back near record highs once more as Apple's $100 billion US investment lifted the tech trade higher. For the week, the S&P 500 (^GSPC) rose 2.5% while the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) ended with a fresh record close, rising nearly 4% across the five trading days. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) popped about 1.4%. With markets now pricing in several interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve this year, Tuesday's Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation reading will headline the week of economic news. Investors will also be closely tracking updates on wholesale inflation, retail sales, and consumer sentiment. On the corporate front, quarterly reports from S&P 500 companies will slow, with just eight expected to report. Quarterly updates from Cava (CAVA), Cisco (CSCO), and Deere & Company (DE) will headline the week of releases. A new Fed official A quiet week of economic data did little to change the recent shift in the economic narrative. Fears of a slowing labor market are driving investors to bet the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by at least a half a percentage point this year. And the nomination of Stephen Miran, current chair of the president's Council of Economic Advisers, to replace Federal Reserve governor Adriana Kugler is only fueling predictions that the central bank will be cutting interest rates soon. Fed officials had already been split on where interest policy should be, with Fed governors Chris Waller and Michelle Bowman dissenting on the central bank's recent decision to hold interest rates steady. Read more: How the Fed rate decision affects your bank accounts, loans, credit cards, and investments JPMorgan chief US economist Michael Feroli wrote in a note to clients that, should Miran be approved as a Federal Reserve Governor by the time of the September meeting, holding interest rates steady again could lead to at least three dissents from officials who believe the Fed should be cutting rates. "That's a lot of dissents," Feroli wrote. "For Powell the risk management considerations at the next meeting may go beyond balancing employment and inflation risks, and we now see the path of least resistance is to pull forward the next 25bp cut to the September meeting." Price check An update on how tariffs are impacting inflation is expected on Tuesday with the release of the July CPI report. Wall Street economists expect headline inflation rose 2.8% annually in July, an increase from the 2.7% seen in June. On a "core" basis, which strips out food and energy prices, CPI is expected to have risen 3% over the last year in July, up from the 2.9% increase seen in June. Monthly core price increases are expected to clock in at 0.3%, above the 0.2% seen the month prior. UBS senior economist Alan Detmeister wrote in a note to clients that tariffs are driving the acceleration in inflation and July's data will bring the start of a several-month uptrend. Detmeister projects core CPI will move from 2.9% in June up to 3.5% by the end of the year. Retail reading On Friday morning, investors will get a fresh update on the state of consumer spending with the release of July retail sales. Economists expect headline retail sales rose 0.5% in July, down slightly from the 0.6% increase seen the month prior. But RBC senior US economist Michael Reid wrote in a note to clients that much of that increase is expected to come from auto sales. In the retail sales control group, a sub-sector that excludes several volatile categories like autos and feeds into the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) reading for the quarter, Reid projects sales rose just 0.1%. "We are anticipating an underwhelming print outside of auto sales," Reid wrote. Bitcoin or bread? Signs of a go-go stock market continue to rip higher. Recent research from Apollo chief economist Torsten Sløk points out that Nvidia (NVDA) is trading at the highest multiple for the S&P 500's biggest stock since Microsoft (MSFT) in 1999. (Disclosure: Yahoo Finance is owned by Apollo Global Management.) IPOs like Firefly Aerospace (FLY) continue to soar during trading debuts, and cryptocurrencies and crypto-linked stocks have caught a fresh bounce. Richard Bernstein Advisors CEO Richard Bernstein told Yahoo Finance there are usually two things that can bring a speculative surge in markets to an end: One is that the Fed is forced to hike interest rates as inflation pushes higher. This, Bernstein said, makes the cost of leverage both for investors and companies higher, limiting liquidity in markets. The other scenario is when the Fed cuts interest rates as the economy is slowing rapidly and appears headed toward recession. "When you get that combination, people stop speculating because they have to buy bread and groceries and things like that," Bernstein said. "They're not speculating on bitcoin. They need bread." To Bernstein, this puts the Fed's current quandary at the center of attention for investors wondering how much further the market can balloon higher. "What the markets have to look at very carefully here is the dilemma that the Fed is faced with," Bernstein wrote. "Are the employment numbers weak enough so the Fed can cut rates but not weak enough to cause a recession so people start shifting from bitcoin to bread? That's the dilemma that the Fed is in right now.

Those who invested in Progressive (NYSE:PGR) five years ago are up 206%
While The Progressive Corporation (NYSE:PGR) shareholders are probably generally happy, the stock hasn't had particularly good run recently, with the share price falling 12% in the last quarter. But that scarcely detracts from the really solid long term returns generated by the company over five years. We think most investors would be happy with the 177% return, over that period. We think it's more important to dwell on the long term returns than the short term returns. Only time will tell if there is still too much optimism currently reflected in the share price. Now it's worth having a look at the company's fundamentals too, because that will help us determine if the long term shareholder return has matched the performance of the underlying business. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time. During five years of share price growth, Progressive achieved compound earnings per share (EPS) growth of 19% per year. This EPS growth is reasonably close to the 23% average annual increase in the share price. That suggests that the market sentiment around the company hasn't changed much over that time. In fact, the share price seems to largely reflect the EPS growth. You can see below how EPS has changed over time (discover the exact values by clicking on the image). We know that Progressive has improved its bottom line over the last three years, but what does the future have in store? If you are thinking of buying or selling Progressive stock, you should check out this FREE detailed report on its balance sheet. What About Dividends? As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR). The TSR incorporates the value of any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings, along with any dividends, based on the assumption that the dividends are reinvested. So for companies that pay a generous dividend, the TSR is often a lot higher than the share price return. As it happens, Progressive's TSR for the last 5 years was 206%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier. This is largely a result of its dividend payments! A Different Perspective Progressive provided a TSR of 13% over the last twelve months. But that was short of the market average. It's probably a good sign that the company has an even better long term track record, having provided shareholders with an annual TSR of 25% over five years. Maybe the share price is just taking a breather while the business executes on its growth strategy. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Progressive better, we need to consider many other factors. Take risks, for example - Progressive has 3 warning signs (and 1 which doesn't sit too well with us) we think you should know about. But note: Progressive may not be the best stock to buy. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies with past earnings growth (and further growth forecast).
