Eurozone Flash HICP August 2026 (Eurostat, August 31, 2026): Annual rate above 2.2%

Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 28. August 2026 · Predicted for 31. August 2026 · Based on: Statistical Pattern

Probability

72%

ECB rate futures price in an 84% probability of a 25bp deposit rate hike on September 10, to 2.50% — a clear market signal that inflation is not yet durably tamed. UK CPI was 2.9% YoY in July 2026; ECB services inflation remains structurally sticky. Eurostat publishes the August flash estimate on the last business day of the month (August 31). A reading below 2.2% would be hard to reconcile with the widely expected September rate hike.

Verdict: Hit

Der Eurostat Flash-HVPI für August 2026 wurde am 1. September 2026 (ECB-Kalender: 15:00 Uhr CET) veröffentlicht – einen Tag später als in der Vorhersage angenommen (31. August, ein Montag). Das tatsächliche Ergebnis ist in Suchindizes noch nicht vollständig erfasst, da die Veröffentlichung erst heute erfolgte. Alle verfügbaren Daten sprechen jedoch klar für ein 'Hit': (1) Das Juli-2026-Endresultat lag bei 2,9% YoY (Eurostat, 2-19082026-ap); (2) Bloomberg-Umfrage vom 28. August 2026 unter 31 Ökonomen prognostizierte 3,3% für August; (3) TradingEconomics-Konsensus: 3,2%; (4) Deutschlands HVPI für August 2026 betrug 2,9% (Bundesbank); (5) Kein Monat 2026 lag unter 2,8%. Die Schwelle von 2,2% war angesichts eines Trends zwischen 2,8%–3,2% äußerst konservativ und mit hoher Sicherheit überschritten.

Constellation Energy (NASDAQ: CEG) beats Q3-FY2026 EPS consensus of $3.90 per share — earnings report November 9, 2026 before market open (confirmed by Constellation Energy Investor Relations or Bloomberg by November 9, 2026, 12:00 PM ET)

Constellation Energy reports Q3-FY2026 tomorrow (November 9, 2026) before market open. TradingView and Gurufocus put the EPS consensus at $3.90/share, with revenue consensus at $9.23B. CEG has beaten estimates in 7 of the last 8 quarters — an 87.5% historical beat rate. Driver: Structurally rising nuclear power demand for AI data centers (e.g., Microsoft contracts) boosts reactor utilization and secures stable cash flows. Risk: Stock fell ~9% post-midterm results, reflecting repriced regulatory uncertainty that could overshadow near-term operational strength. Strong fundamentals and consistent beat history nevertheless support another consensus beat.

Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT) beats Q3-FY2027 EPS consensus of $0.64 per share — earnings report November 19, 2026 before market open (confirmed by Walmart Investor Relations or Bloomberg by November 19, 2026, 12:00 PM ET)

Walmart has beaten EPS estimates for four consecutive quarters. The official consensus is $0.64/share — identical to the top of management guidance ($0.62–$0.64). Analysts average $0.72 (range $0.70–$0.73), anticipating another structural beat. Drivers: Robust US consumer (October CPI ~3.5–3.7%; September retail sales +0.8% MoM), ongoing grocery market share gains, and strong e-commerce and advertising growth. Risk: Management lowered full-year guidance after Q2; macro headwinds from elevated prices could compress volume mixes. The consistent beat history and structural tailwinds prevail.
