The Fed funds rate stands at 3.50–3.75% as of July 2026 following the 2025–2026 easing cycle (FOMC statement June 17, 2026). CME FedWatch: 78.1% probability of no change at the July 28–29 FOMC meeting, but a notable 21.9% probability of a rate hike is priced in (persistent inflation from energy/Middle East). Polymarket: 78% probability of 0 additional cuts in 2026. Base case is a hold — a hike would be a surprise but is not ruled out.

Starbucks reports Q3 FY2026 (April–June quarter) on August 4, 2026 after market close. Under CEO Brian Niccol (since September 2024, ex-Chipotle), a turnaround is underway: menu simplification, peak-hour focus, staff stabilization. After several weak quarters, analyst expectations are set low, increasing the beat probability. Large US consumer staple companies historically beat adjusted EPS consensus 65–75% of the time. Risks: high Arabica prices (~325 US cents/lb per existing forecast) and ongoing China headwinds push the probability slightly below sector average.

AB InBev delivered Q1 2026 underlying EPS of USD 0.97 (record Q1, +20.8% vs Q1 2025; consensus of USD 0.90 clearly beaten). H1 2025 underlying EPS was USD 1.79 (Q1: USD 0.80; Q2: USD 0.98). For H1 2026 EPS to exceed USD 2.00, Q2 must deliver at least USD 1.03 — only a 5.1% increase vs Q2 2025. Given ongoing megabrand premiumization, FIFA World Cup volume acceleration (Budweiser as global beer partner), and the active share buyback, this appears highly likely. H1 results on July 30, 2026.

Oatly generated Q1 2026 net revenue of USD 228.3M (+16% vs Q1 2025). With continued YoY growth and typical spring/summer seasonality (oat milk lattes, higher foodservice demand in Europe), a modest sequential increase to >USD 230M appears plausible. A specific Q2 2026 analyst consensus was not publicly available. Key risk: potential Q2 2025 base effect (base figure not public). Results on July 22, 2026, before US market open.
