Earnings calendar spotlight: Micron Technology

Micron Technology (MU) will disclose its fiscal 2026 first-quarter results after Wednesday's close. In September, the memory chipmaker reported impressive fiscal Q4 earnings, with CEO Sanjay Mehrotra saying that, "As the only U.S.-based memory manufacturer, Micron is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the AI opportunity ahead."

The company forecast fiscal Q1 earnings of $3.75 per share – up from $1.79 in the year-ago period – on revenue of $12.5 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 43.7%. But UBS Global Research analyst Timothy Arcuri expects Micron to easily exceed these estimates.

Indeed, Arcuri expects earnings of $4.27 per share on revenue of $13.2 billion as tight supply drives better pricing for memory chips.

The analyst has a Buy rating on the semiconductor stock and a $275 price target, representing implied upside of 6.4% to its December 11 close.

Earnings calendar spotlight: FedEx

Analysts are upbeat toward FedEx (FDX) ahead of the logistics giant's appearance on the earnings calendar, slated for after the December 18 close.

Of the 30 analysts covering the industrial stock who are tracked by S&P Global Market Intelligence, 16 say it's a Strong Buy, three have it at Buy, nine rate it at Hold and two say it's a Sell or Strong Sell. This works out to a consensus Buy recommendation.

Susquehanna analyst Bascome Majors is one of those with a Positive (Buy) rating on FDX. The company entered fiscal 2026 "against a sea of uncertainty in June, led by 'Liberation Day' and the removal of de minimis tariff exemptions from China and Hong Kong," he writes in a December 4 note.

But as FedEx enters the second half of its fiscal year, "both parcel demand and management's cost control have weathered the storm better than we'd feared, and real-time data shows a solid peak for broader air cargo," adds Majors.

As for the company's fiscal 2026 second-quarter results, Majors expects earnings of $4.08 per share on revenue of $22.8 billion. This represents year-over-year growth of 0.7% and 3.8%, respectively.

Earnings calendar spotlight: Nike

Nike (NKE) is the lone Dow Jones stock on the earnings calendar and will disclose its fiscal 2026 second-quarter results after Thursday's close. And while shares popped in late September following a fiscal Q1 beat, they're down nearly 3% on a price basis since then.

"A pivotal Nike question is if the company can deliver sequential improvement in its sales growth trend through fiscal year 2026," says UBS Global Research analyst Jay Sole. "Our channel checks suggest Nike had lackluster global sales momentum through November, with decelerating direct-to-consumer  sales trends in North America and Europe quarter over quarter."

Sole says this suggests a sales recovery for the athletic apparel and footwear maker may take longer than previously thought and "is playing out in a non-linear way."

This time around, Wall Street expects Nike to report earnings of 37 cents per share (-52.6% YoY) on revenue of $12.2 billion (-1.2% YoY).
