Wall Street Sunday Breakfast: #StocksToWatch
Retailers cap off the Q1 earnings season in style as Target (NYSE:TGT), Best Buy (NYSE:BBY), Lowe's (NYSE:LOW) and Home Depot (NYSE:HD) all step up to the plate next week.
Investors are still digesting the impact on retail of stinging tariffs amid a solid economy and Walmart's (NYSE:WMT) hint of higher consumer prices. The focus next week also turns back to the Federal Reserve, with FOMC minutes due out on May 22 along with speeches rolling in from Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker, New York Fed President John Williams, Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren and Fed Vice Chairman Clarida.
Will any more corporate carveouts be announced as a potential remedy to global pressures to follow on Anheuser-Busch InBev's (NYSE:BUD)
Asian operations IPO announcement and Volkswagen's (OTCPK:VWAGY) trucking unit IPO reveal?
PMI prints will blaze in from Europe and the U.S. on May 23, while May 24 could be a snoozer with pre-Memorial Day trading volume typically low and the bond market closing early for the BBQ weekend.
