Verdict: Miss

Meta berichtete am 29. Juli 2026 einen GAAP-Diluted-EPS von 6,18 USD – ein klarer Miss von ~14% gegenüber dem Analystenkonsens von ~7,17–7,23 USD. Meta veröffentlicht kein separates Non-GAAP/adjusted EPS, d.h. der Marktstandard-Vergleich basiert auf GAAP. Der Miss brach eine sechsquartalslange Beat-Serie. Ursache: Gesamtkosten stiegen 55 % YoY auf 42 Mrd. USD – fast doppelt so stark wie der Umsatz (+28 %) – getrieben von 2,4 Mrd. USD Rückstellungen für laufende Rechtsstreitigkeiten und 1,18 Mrd. USD Abfindungskosten aus dem Stellenabbau ab Mai 2026. Der Free Cash Flow kollabierte auf 784 Mio. USD. Umsatz ($60,8 Mrd. vs. $60,19 Mrd. Konsens) schlug zwar die Erwartungen, doch die Vorhersage bezog sich explizit auf EPS. Die Aktie fiel ~10 % nachbörslich.

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)

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.
