Eyes on Earnings — Week of June 1, 2025

Heartbreaking: The “Nothing Really Happens” crowd was right again.
On Thursday, a US trade court struck down Trump’s tariffs, which have been top of mind since the President took to the White House Rose Garden in April. Not even 24 hours later, an appeals court stayed the biggest blow to his tariff aspirations, which threatened some of the $6T in promised revenues considered crucial to the “One Big, Beautiful Bill.”
Trump and the tariff dissidents might be going to the Supreme Court, but amid talk of the TACO trade, investors are hoping for tariffs to get toasted, with markets rising 2.24% last week on the revelations.
Turning a corner: It’s not just traders hoping that the tariffs will soon be bygones. On Wednesday, the Conference Board’s Consumer Sentiment survey showed an improvement in Americans’ views of the economy — the first boost in five months. The US-China trade deal was seen as a considerable ingredient in Americans’ change of heart on the economy. That’s helped stabilize markets where companies have been reluctant to withdraw or cut their guidance. Instead, investors appear to be leaning into optimism.
Over the next few weeks, we can expect a slow trickle of earnings, with 124 reports expected, according to Nasdaq. Here are three to keep an eye on:
Honorable mentions: Reports from major athleisure player Lululemon, alcohol titan Brown Forman ($BF.B), and Vail Resorts are also ones to watch, given their sensitivity to customer attitudes. In addition, Samsara, Rubrik, and DocuSign will give more insight into the state of software.
