U.S. investors face a busy earnings week, with Nvidia’s report testing expectations for AI-chip demand as retail results offer fresh evidence on consumer spending and Chinese technology companies report on cloud businesses.

A prior EconoTimes report on Nvidia’s earnings schedule said the company is due to release fiscal 2027 third-quarter results Nov. 17. Investors will look for clues about chip demand and the pace of growth.

Results from Walmart, Target and Home Depot will let investors assess store traffic, nonessential purchases, holiday demand and how shoppers respond to prices. Disney is also among the companies in focus.

Investors will weigh AI and cloud results at Alibaba and Baidu against advertising weakness and profitability pressure at the two Chinese companies.

Cybersecurity, industrial and shipping firms round out the calendar. Their results could provide clues about trade conditions and business investment.
