Earnings calendar highlights
Monday (4/7)
There are no noteworthy earnings reports scheduled for release before the market opens on Monday, April 7.
Tuesday (4/8)
Earnings preview: WD-40
WD-40 (WDFC) will make its appearance on the earnings calendar before the opening bell on Tuesday. The company is expected to report fiscal 2025 second-quarter earnings of $1.27 per share, up from $1.14 a year ago, on revenue of $154.4 million, up from $139.1 million.
WD-40 reported first-quarter earnings per share (EPS) of $1.39, as sales grew by 9% to $153.5 million. Only two analysts cover the stock. One rates it Buy, the other says Hold. More on that below.
To appreciate WDFC, you probably should just take a look at a chart of the silent but effective dividend stock vs the S&P 500 Index during the stock market sell-off on April 3 and for the first quarter. And then you should scale out for a look at the 10-year total return comparison of the same two tickers.
On April 3, WDFC was up 0.4% as the S&P 500 fell 4.8%. During the first quarter, WDFC posted a total return (price appreciation plus dividends) of 0.9%, while the S&P 500 was down 4.3%. Over the long term, WDFC has generated a gain of 221.5% vs 224.8% for the broad-based index.
D.A. Davidson analyst Linda Bolton Weiser rates WDFC stock a Buy. Weiser's 12-month target price is $322, reaffirmed after management reported fiscal first-quarter earnings and confirmed full-year guidance in January. Weiser's target implies 29.4% upside from WDFC's April 3 closing price.
Wednesday (4/9)
Earnings preview: Delta Air Lines
Delta Air Lines (DAL) "pre-announced" on March 10 downward revisions to its first-quarter revenue, operating margin and EPS forecasts. It will release its full first-quarter financial results ahead of Wednesday's open.
The air carrier expects to report year-over-year revenue growth of 3% to 4% vs a prior estimate of 7% to 9% and a consensus expectation of 8%. Operating margin will be 4% to 5% vs 6% to 8% and a consensus expectation of 7%.
EPS will be 30 cents to 50 cents, down from 70 cents to $1.00 and below a Wall Street figure of 86 cents. Management cited "the recent reduction in consumer and corporate confidence caused by increased macro uncertainty, driving softness in Domestic demand" for the revisions.
As Susquehanna International Group analyst Christopher N. Stathoulopoulos notes, the downward revision from the industrial stock came "against a backdrop of declining fuel prices, as West Texas Intermediate crude oil and spot jet fuel are down approximately 12% and 15%, respectively" since Delta's fourth-quarter conference call on January 10.
Stathoulopoulos, who rates the large-cap stock Positive (that means "Buy") with a 12-month price target he raised from $75 to $80 in January, said in a March 10 note that his "first-quarter and fiscal 2025 estimates are pending review."
Thursday (4/10)
There are no noteworthy earnings reports scheduled for release after the market closes on Thursday, April 10.
Friday (4/11)
Earnings preview: JPMorgan Chase
JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is the top pick among the large-cap banks that lead financial stocks as first-quarter reporting season gets underway in earnest on Friday morning, according to Betsy Graseck, global head of banks and diversified finance research at Morgan Stanley.
Wall Street expects Jamie Dimon's shop to report EPS of $4.61 on revenue of $43.8 billion. Graseck expects JPM to report EPS of $4.71 on higher net interest income excluding market operations (NII), lower expenses, a lower share count and lower provisions for loan losses.
Graseck rates JPM stock Equal Weight (or "Hold") based on a 12-month target price of $275 and an April 2 closing price of $245.82.
Graseck forecasts NII of $22.7 billion vs a consensus estimate of $22.2 billion. She does not expect JPM to reduce its full-year NII guidance of $90 billion to $94 billion "even though the yield curve moved modestly lower in the quarter and JPM is asset sensitive," Graseck noting that potential cuts to interest rates are "likely come in the back end of the year."
As for big banks as a group, after two "beat and raise" quarters in a row, Graseck expects a "meet and keep" first quarter. Despite the impact of tariffs on operations as well as markets, Graseck does not expect banks to revise down their full-year guidance.
