Daily US Earnings Estimates: 26th October 2026: VZ, WELL

This report is a detailed calendar of all earnings for the stocks in the S&P 500, DJIA, Nasdaq 100 and other significant companies.

Daily earnings previews of this kind function as positioning notes rather than news: the information value lies in the slate's composition and where the consensus is most exposed, not in any single estimate. The day splits cleanly by session. Verizon reports pre-market, where telecom prints have historically been read through subscriber additions and free cash flow against heavy capex and debt loads, with the dividend coverage question tending to dominate the call rather than the headline EPS. The after-hours block is the busier side: Cadence is the index-relevant name, and EDA prints have typically traded on backlog and guidance rather than the quarter itself, given the sector's recurring-revenue structure and its sensitivity to semiconductor design spending and export-control headlines. The REIT cluster, Welltower and Public Storage, reports together, where the market's focus has conventionally been on funds from operations and same-store metrics rather than GAAP EPS, with healthcare REITs in particular trading on occupancy trends and acquisition pacing. Nucor closes the session as the cyclical tell: steel names have tended to guide on pricing spreads and end-demand commentary that peers treat as a sector read-across, so its call often moves the metals complex more than its own print alone. The insurers, Hartford, Cincinnati Financial, Brown & Brown, round out the day, where catastrophe losses and combined ratios versus pricing trends have been the standard swing factors.
