Predicted for 26. August 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
The BEA advance estimate (30 July 2026) showed only 1.5% annualised growth, well below the 2.1% Bloomberg/LSEG consensus. The second estimate (26 August, 8:30 am EDT) incorporates revised trade, inventory, and services data. Historically, second estimates deviate ±0.5 pp on average from the advance. A revision to ≥1.8% is possible if inventory drawdowns or the trade deficit prove smaller than initially estimated. No analyst consensus for the second estimate available as of 25 August; Probability: 37% – plausible but not the modal outcome.
Data basis for this prediction
- BEA Advance Estimate Q2 2026: +1,5 % annualisiert (30. Juli 2026)
- Bloomberg/LSEG Konsens Q2 2026: 2,1 % (Juli 2026)

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.
