A steady flow of earnings and economic data are expected to keep investors busy in the upcoming week.
Major companies announcing quarterly results include Uber, Peloton, Under Armour, Disney, Square, Qualcomm, and Roku.
Uber’s third-quarter results due out Monday come on the heels of rival Lyft’s (LYFT) better-than-expected results last week. After hitting public markets earlier this year, both Uber and Lyft stocks have struggled. After pricing its IPO at $72 per share, Lyft shares were trading at $42.98, as of Friday’s close, while Uber was at $31.37 after pricing shares at $45.
“We are neutral to incrementally positive for Ridesharing market demand given the 63% Y/Y revenue growth Lyft reported and we are more positive on Uber’s profitability trends in part due to Lyft commentary about a more rational market environment,” RBC analyst Mark Mahaney wrote in a note Friday. Mahaney expects Uber to report $16.7 billion in gross bookings for the third quarter, which implies 31% year-over-year growth.
Uber’s lock-up period will officially expire two days after its third-quarter earnings results. Approximately 1,682.5MM shares will become eligible for sale, according to Mahaney’s estimates. Shares will likely be under significant pressure this week with that event looming.
Peloton is another recent IPO gearing up to report quarterly results this week. It’s been a rough ride for Peloton since hitting the public markets in September. The home fitness brand’s shares closed below their $29 IPO price on the first day of trading and have never gotten back to that level since. Peloton stock closed at $24.99 per share on Friday. Despite the underperformance, analysts are optimistic on the future of the company.
“Peloton is well positioned to scale via its powerful brand, vertically integrated model and large addressable market; we forecast ramping hardware and subscriptions given geo expansion and rising awareness,” Cowen analyst John Blackledge wrote in a note Friday. Blackledge has an Outperform rating on Peloton stock with a $34 price target, which represents a 36% increase from its current trading levels.
Meanwhile on the economic data front, market watchers will get the latest Institute for Supply Management’s Non-Manufacturing Index reading for October.
“Even as the non-manufacturing sector has weathered the economic headwinds of slowing global demand and the trade dispute with China to a better degree than the manufacturing sector, the headwinds have still had a dampening impact on the sector,” Wells Fargo said in a note to clients Friday. “The headline index has declined, on average, since its late 2018 peak and currently stands at a three-year low. Encouragingly, the overall performance remains in expansionary territory, though the deteriorating trend is consistent with a meaningful slowdown in growth.”
Much like Wells Fargo, economists at Nomura expect October’s non-manufacturing sector to have held up much better than the manufacturing sector. “We continue to expect elevated business uncertainty despite the recent suspension of additional US tariffs on products from China. This environment suggests downside risk remains, but we expect the non-manufacturing sector to remain more resilient to this risk compared to the manufacturing sector,” the firm said.
