Predicted for 22. July 2026
·
Based on: Ongoing Event
The Nikkei fell to 64,141 on July 17, 2026 (–4.03% on the day, sharpest single-day decline in weeks), from 67,744 on July 14. Drivers: global semiconductor selloff (NVIDIA –2.4%), AI valuation concerns. At the July 22 open (Monday), the political shock of the Sangiin election hits an already stressed market: LDP-Komeito losing its majority typically strengthens the yen (risk-off), weighing on export-heavy index components. No direct Polymarket market available; own estimate. An open prediction sets the threshold at <65,500 — this prediction is 3% lower.

Verdict: Miss
Der Nikkei 225 schloss am 22. Juli 2026 bei 66.115,60 Punkten (−116,59 Punkte / −0,18 %) – damit lag er rund 2.615 Punkte oberhalb der Schwelle von 63.500. Die Vorhersage war deutlich zu pessimistisch: Statt eines politisch getriebenen Ausverkaufs stieg der Index im Vormittagshandel sogar um +1.278 Punkte auf 67.511 (getragen u. a. von Advantest), bevor Gewinnmitnahmen am Nachmittag die Gewinne fast vollständig auflösten. Der befürchtete starke Yen-Schock durch den LDP-Koalitions-Verlust bei der Sangiin-Wahl materialisierte sich nicht in dem Ausmaß, das für einen Fall unter 63.500 nötig gewesen wäre.

Take-Two Interactive reports Q2 FY2027 (July–September 2026) results on November 9 after market close. Estimated analyst consensus: approx. -$0.45 EPS (heavy investment cycle around GTA VI and other AAA titles). TTWO has beaten consensus in 6 of the last 8 quarters; strong Recurrent Consumer Spending base (mobile, NBA 2K, GTA Online) consistently delivers positive surprises on cost discipline. Report date confirmed by TipRanks Earnings Calendar (as of Nov 8, 2026). Verification by TTWO Investor Relations or Bloomberg by November 10, 2026, 10:00 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 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.
