I have over a decade of experience writing about the stock market and have covered corporate earnings reports and stock reactions over that time frame. I find corporate earnings to be so important because they allow investors a closer look into the strength of a company's fundamentals and how these may impact its share price down the road.

Earnings calendar highlights

Monday (1/27)

Tuesday (1/28)

Earnings spotlight: Lockheed Martin

Lockheed Martin (LMT) had a rough go of it on the price charts in the fourth quarter, slumping 17%. But Truist Securities analyst Michael Ciarmoli says this weakness creates a "compelling entry point," and he initiated coverage on the defense stock with a Buy rating and a $579 price target.

Ciarmoli adds that fears related to potential cost cuts recommended by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are "overblown" and that "defense spending will continue to rise in coming periods."

This bullish outlook toward one of the best stocks to buy for the Trump presidency is shared by plenty of folks on Wall Street. Of the 24 analysts covering LMT that are tracked by S&P Global Market Intelligence, eight say it's a Strong Buy, two have it at Buy, 13 say it's a Hold and one has it at Sell. This works out to a consensus Buy recommendation.

As for Lockheed Martin's fourth-quarter results, due out ahead of Tuesday's open, analysts are calling for earnings of $6.61 per share, down 16.3% year over year, on revenue of $18.8 billion (-0.5% YoY).

Wednesday (1/29)

Earnings spotlight: Meta Platforms

Meta Platforms (META) is one of several Magnificent 7 stocks on this week's earnings calendar, with the Facebook parent set to disclose its fourth-quarter results after Wednesday's close.

Analysts expect the social media giant to report earnings of $6.73 per share (+26.3% YoY) on revenue of $47 billion (+17% YoY).

"Meta has set itself apart among tech giants by turning AI [artificial intelligence] investments into quick wins," says Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown. "Unlike cloud providers that sell AI capabilities, Meta focuses its efforts on enhancing its own products, driving higher ad revenue."

Britzman notes that this AI push doesn't come cheap and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is willing to spend to advance this "once-in-a-generation opportunity." As such, the company's spending will be watched closely, with investors understandably cautious given "Meta's past overspending on projects like the metaverse," he adds.

Thursday (1/30)

Earnings spotlight: Apple

Apple (AAPL) will make its appearance on the earnings calendar after Thursday's close. AAPL has been the worst Dow Jones stock so far this year, down 10.85% through January 23.

Weighing on the shares are concerns the company is losing market share in China and that its AI offerings are lagging. But Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives thinks this "panic and bear frenzy" is overblown.

"Our recent Apple iPhone China checks are mixed to softer, but overall unit declines in the region we see as 'manageable' along with stronger U.S./Rest of World growth that should enable Cupertino to hit Street numbers for the December quarter," Ives says.

He adds that the company's Services segment – "which is the linchpin to the $4.5 trillion sum of the parts valuation we see over the next 12 to 18 months" – should be strong.

Ives expects Apple to report fiscal first-quarter earnings of $2.43 per share (+11.5% YoY) on revenue of $124.8 billion (+4.3% YoY). This compares to the Street's estimates for earnings of $2.35 per share on $124.1 billion in sales.
