Predicted for 30. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Core PCE stood at 3.3% YoY in July 2026, unchanged from June. A drop below 3.1% within one month would require near-zero or negative monthly core inflation, highly unlikely with initial jobless claims at 204k (well below 215k expected, week of 23 Sept). Polymarket prices another Fed hike in 2026 at 84% and zero cuts at 93%, both signals of persistently elevated core inflation. The 10-year Treasury yield is at 4.97% (22 Sept) near the 5% level, embedding inflation resilience. No direct Polymarket PCE contracts found; threshold set at 3.1% to avoid trivial certainty and reflect genuine calibration.
Data basis for this prediction
- US Core PCE Deflator Juli 2026: 3,3 % YoY (BEA / Advisor Perspectives / Trading Economics, Aug 2026)
- US 10-Year Treasury Yield: 4,97 % (FRED / Trading Economics, 22.09.2026)
- Polymarket: Fed-Zinserhöhung Wahrscheinlichkeit 2026: 84 %; keine Zinssenkungen: 93 % (22.09.2026)
- US Initial Jobless Claims Woche 23.09.2026: 204.000 (unter Erwartung 215.000) (BLS, 23.09.2026)

Verdict: Miss
Der Core PCE Deflator für August 2026 wurde am 30. September 2026 von der BEA wie erwartet veröffentlicht und lag bei 3,0 % YoY – knapp unter dem Schwellenwert von 3,1 %. Die Vorhersage scheiterte vor allem an einer methodischen Revision der BEA: Die Berechnungsweise für Portfolio-Management-Gebühren, Anlageberatung, Computersoftware und Rechtsdienstleistungen wurde rückwirkend bis 2021 angepasst, was die gemessene Kerninflation um ca. 0,18 Prozentpunkte senkte. Ohne diese Revision hätte der Wert die Schwelle wahrscheinlich überschritten.

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.
