Major Earnings Reports:<\/h2>\n

Below are the major quarterly earnings report of past week.<\/p>\n

1. Carnival Corporation (CCL: NYE)<\/a>:<\/h3>\n

Carnival reported revenue of $7.9 billion (+15% YoY) and profits of $1.7 billion (+62% YoY). \u00a0Carnival booked 50% of its 2025 availability at higher prices. It expects adjusted EBITDA to exceed $6 billion in 2024. \u00a0Despite strong financials, the stock is down 2% year-to-date. Wall Street targets $19 per share, cautious about booking trends and pricing power for 2025.<\/p>\n

2. Nike Inc (NKE: NYE)<\/a>:<\/h3>\n

Nike’s revenue fell to $11.6 billion, a drop from $13.0 billion last year. Profits decreased to $1.0 billion. \u00a0The company continues to face challenges in stabilizing gross margins and sales contraction. Management expects further margin contraction next quarter. \u00a0Nike is on a multi-year recovery path. Investors remain on the sidelines, watching for signs of a bottom in gross margins and sales.<\/p>\n

3. Constellation Brands (STZ: NYE)<\/a>:<\/h3>\n

Revenue increased to $2.9 billion (+3% YoY) despite a net loss of $1.2 billion. Achieved $300 million in cost savings and reached its target leverage ratio, indicating potential for share buybacks or dividend hikes. Market skepticism persists due to beer consumption headwinds. However, cost-saving efforts present long-term stock appreciation catalysts.<\/p>\n

Notable News and Events:<\/h2>\n

Below are the major notable news and events from the past week.<\/p>\n

1. Middle East Tensions Send Oil Soaring:<\/h3>\n

Escalating tensions between Israel and Iran caused oil prices to surge 9.1%, the largest weekly gain since March 2023. Investors remain wary of supply disruptions. Despite the rally slowing, energy markets remain volatile as geopolitical tensions unfold.<\/p>\n

2. Employment Report:<\/h3>\n

The U.S. added 254,000 jobs in September, exceeding estimates, with unemployment falling to 4.1%. \u00a0The strong labor report reduces the likelihood of larger interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in November. The steady participation rate signals ongoing economic resilience.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h2>\n

Earnings reports highlight mixed performance across sectors, with Carnival showing promise while Nike struggles. Meanwhile, oil prices and labor market dynamics indicate a complex global economic environment for investors to navigate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
