# Major U.S. stock market events and earnings preview for the week of 10.26

$Amazon(AMZN.US) $Microsoft(MSFT.US) $Meta Platforms(META.US) $NVIDIA(NVDA.US) $Alphabet - C(GOOG.US) $Alphabet(GOOGL.US) $Apple(AAPL.US) $Unitedhealth(UNH.US)

-   Macro fundamentals:

CPI interpretation:  
（1）September CPI rose 0.3% MoM and 3.0% YoY, slightly below market expectations  
（2）【Key】Core logic supporting market bets on December rate cuts: Core CPI (excluding food and energy) rose 0.2% MoM, the slowest growth in three months, benefiting from a significant slowdown in housing cost growth (an important component of Fed's inflation measure), providing the most positive signal for further rate cuts

Wednesday FOMC expectations:  
（1）CME shows 98.3% probability of 25bp rate cut in October and 91.1% probability of 50bp rate cut in December  
（2）【Key】BofA/Deutsche Bank expect Fed to end QT early next week; if confirmed, bank reserve relief would benefit risk asset premiums

X-factors:  
（1）Tariffs and trade negotiations

-   Earnings expectations:  
    According to FaceSet's latest earnings report

1.【Key】Earnings growth revised upward: Market raised S&P 500 composite earnings growth from 7.9% to 9.2%, increasing difficulty for overall outperformance  
2\. Reported earnings: 87% EPS beat, 83% revenue beat  
3\. Valuations:  
（1）PE(NTM): 22.7, below mid-2020 peak of 23.5, above 5/10-year averages  
（2）PE(LTM): 28.9, below 2021 peak of 35.8, also above 5/10-year averages
