Predicted for 31. October 2026
·
Based on: Speculative
The S&P 500 is at 7,709.72 on September 8, 2026 (−0.49%). To reach 8,000 by end of October would require a ~3.8% gain in ~7 weeks. Headwinds: US-Iran war, Brent near $100/barrel, FOMC rate hike expectations for September. Positive drivers: strong Q3 2026 earnings (AI infrastructure contributes ~50% of EPS growth; Goldman Sachs EPS forecast $340 for 2026, +24% YoY), Q3 reporting season from Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft around October 29–30. Implied probability: ~40%. No duplicate in open predictions list (existing prediction targets >7,800 on September 30).

Verdict: Miss
Der S&P 500 schloss am 31. Oktober 2026 bei 7.580,07 Punkten – deutlich unter der Marke von 8.000. Der Index fiel an diesem Tag sogar um 1,82 % und war damit der schlechteste Tag seit Juni 2026. Statt des erwarteten Anstiegs von ~3,8 % verlor der Index gegenüber dem Ausgangsniveau vom 8. September (7.709,72) nochmals ca. 1,7 %. Hauptgründe für das Verfehlen: (1) Enttäuschende Q3-Earnings und Umsatzausblicke bei Mega-Cap-AI-Titeln (insbesondere Intel und Amazon), die einen breiten AI-Selloff auslösten; (2) steigende Energiepreise und erhöhte Anleiherenditen; (3) wachsende Skepsis gegenüber der Profitabilität großer KI-Investitionen. Damit trat genau das Negativszenario ein, das der Vorhersage eine Wahrscheinlichkeit von nur 40 % gegeben hatte.

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.
