Five retail earnings in three days. The American consumer goes on trial. $WMT (Thursday BO) is the anchor, Walmart sees everything: traffic, basket size, whether essentials are replacing discretionary. With credit card delinquencies at 13-year highs, this quarter either confirms the consumer is cracking or buys another quarter of hope. $TGT (Wednesday AC) gives the middle-income read. $TJX (Wednesday AC) tells you if shoppers are trading down to off-price. $LOW and $HD bracket the week with the housing and home improvement pulse. The name I'm watching Monday: $FN (Fabrinet, Monday AC), the optical manufacturing backbone of AI networking. Every high-speed transceiver connecting data centers runs through Fabrinet's factories. If AI infrastructure capex is real, it shows up here first. A beat with strong guidance is the cleanest confirmation of the buildout thesis. The wildcard: $KLAR (Klarna, Tuesday AC), first earnings as a public company. The BNPL model lives or dies on credit quality. If delinquencies are rising in Klarna's book, it's the earliest signal of consumer stress hitting buy-now-pay-later. $BABA (Thursday BO) closes the week with the Chinese consumer and cloud read, two things the market has been simultaneously ignoring and repricing. $FN confirms AI infrastructure or $WMT cracks the consumer narrative, which one moves your week more? 👇
