What to Watch in FedEx, General Mills, and Nike Earnings

Securities In This Article

Nike Inc Class B

General Mills Inc

Jeremy Glaser: Welcome to The Week Ahead. After a busy couple of days highlighted by high-profile data releases and a Fed rate increase, the next few days will be relatively quiet.

FedEx will report on Tuesday. We're looking for updates on how the shipping giant's integration of TNT is progressing. General Mills has been struggling with what analyst Erin Lash describes as lackluster sales, and we will see if that trend will continue. Nike had tepid future orders in its fiscal second quarter, and that will be a key metric watched when the firm reports.

On the data side, existing and new homes sales data will give a snapshot of the health of the residential real estate market. Durable goods orders are also on tap.

Stay tuned to Morningstar for our take on these stories.

How we approach editorial content

Maintaining independence and editorial freedom is essential to our mission of empowering investor success. We provide a platform for our authors to report on investments fairly, accurately, and from the investor’s point of view. We also respect individual opinions––they represent the unvarnished thinking of our people and exacting analysis of our research processes. Our authors can publish views that we may or may not agree with, but they show their work, distinguish facts from opinions, and make sure their analysis is clear and in no way misleading or deceptive.

To further protect the integrity of our editorial content, we keep a strict separation between our sales teams and authors to remove any pressure or influence on our analyses and research.
