Stocks to Watch in the Week: Salesforce, GameStop, Lululemon, and More

After a relaxing week of holiday festivities, spending time with loved ones, and some great Thanksgiving meals, this week might be a bit quieter on the stock market front. However, that doesn’t mean there won’t be some important things to keep an eye on!

We’ve got a variety of earnings reports coming up this week from companies in the tech, meme stock, and entertainment sectors. Salesforce (CRM-0.01%) is scheduled to drop their earnings report on Tuesday after the market closes. Marvell Technology (MRVL+2.87%) and Okta (OKTA+1.49%) are also set to report on the same day. We’re still waiting on the exact timing for Dave & Buster’s Entertainment (PLAY+4.52%).

Moving on to Wednesday, Chewy (CHWY+0.24%), Dollar Tree (DLTR-0.32%), and Foot Locker (FL-0.63%) will be sharing their earnings reports bright and early before the market opens. And don’t forget about GameStop (GME-5.96%), the popular meme stock, which will also be reporting on Wednesday, although the timing is still up in the air.

Come Thursday, we’ll be hearing financial updates from the likes of Kroger Company (KR+0.96%) and Dollar General (DG+1.32%) before the market opens. Lululemon (LULU+0.36%), who have been navigating some sales challenges, will be sharing their earnings after the market closes. And we can expect earnings reports after the closing bell from companies like DocuSign (DOCU-0.86%), Ulta Beauty (ULTA+3.04%), and Victoria’s Secret (VSCO+2.24%).

Wrapping up the week on Friday, Kirkland’s (KIRK+2.29%) will be revealing their financial results.

In terms of economic data, there are a few key releases to look out for this week. On Tuesday, the US will be sharing job openings data for October. Wednesday brings us the always anticipated ADP employment report, which tracks private sector job growth. Also on Wednesday, the Federal Reserve will be publishing its Beige Book, offering insights into economic conditions from different regions. Thursday will give us the weekly initial jobless claims report, providing a snapshot of the labor market. And Friday, we’ll be getting the preliminary consumer sentiment report for December, giving us a sense of consumer confidence heading into the new year.

So, even though this week might be a bit calmer in terms of stock market activity, there’s still plenty of information to keep an eye on!
