Earnings Outlook: FedEx, Micron, Nike Report this Week
Updated June 24, 2025
Investors are bracing for a busy week as FedEx, Micron Technology, and Nike are set to release their latest earnings reports. These companies,representing transportation,semiconductors,and global consumer brands,offer a broad view of the current economic landscape.
While first-quarter earnings were strong, concerns are rising about potential caution in third-quarter guidance. The expiration of reciprocal tariffs on July 8 could impact company outlooks. Though, second-quarter comparisons to last year are slightly more favorable.
S&P 500 earnings per share (EPS) growth rate expectations for the second and third quarters of 2025 have been revised downward. Still, the third-quarter EPS is holding up relatively well, despite the fact that earnings season is still over three months away.
The first quarter saw a strong “upside surprise” of over 6%. The focus for the second quarter will be on how actual earnings compare to estimates and how that upside measures against previous quarters.
Micron Technology’s fiscal third-quarter earnings, released Wednesday, could indicate whether the semiconductor sector can rally and possibly lift mega-cap tech stocks. semiconductor strength often signals positive trends for the broader technology market.
The S&P 500 EPS growth rate for the third quarter could fall below the second quarter due to the tariff deadline. Many companies may issue cautious guidance.
What’s next
Investors will be watching closely to see how these earnings reports reflect economic activity in May and June. The market’s reaction to the reports will likely set the tone for the coming weeks.
