56%

WTI crude traded at $87.88/barrel on July 24, 2026; a $2.12 rise to July 31 is needed. Brent stands concurrently at $100.40 (first triple-digit close in two months) — driven by Iranian attacks on supertankers (Achelous + Dynacom tanker, Bloomberg July 20) and continued Houthi escalation in the Red Sea. The unusually wide WTI/Brent spread of ~$12.50 (historically $3–7) may narrow via US crude inventory drawdowns and normalizing export pressure. FOMC meeting on July 29 could modestly weaken the USD — supportive for oil prices.

Verdict: Miss

WTI-Rohöl schloss am 31. Juli 2026 bei 84,67 USD/Barrel (Quelle: Investing.com Historical Data) — deutlich unter der Schwelle von 90,00 USD. Die Preisentwicklung in der Woche verlief sogar gegenläufig zur Prognose: Nach einem Hoch von 87,01 USD am 23. Juli fiel WTI bis auf 79,26 USD am 28. Juli, bevor es sich zum Monatsende leicht auf 84,67 USD erholte. Der EIA-Monatsdurchschnitt für Juli 2026 lag bei ca. 80,46 USD/Barrel. Das angenommene Szenario — Verengung des WTI/Brent-Spreads, USD-Schwäche nach FOMC, Eskalationsprämie durch Houthi/Iran-Spannungen — reichte nicht aus, um WTI über 90 USD zu treiben. Die Prognose verfehlte das Ziel um ca. 5,33 USD.

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)

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 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.
