Tuesday 3/4
More than 95% of the companies in the S&P 500 index have reported fourth-quarter results, with roughly three-quarters beating earnings-per-share estimates and about 60% surpassing sales projections. On tap this week are CrowdStrike Holdings and Target, which announce results on Tuesday. Two megacap companies, Broadcom and Costco Wholesale release their earnings on Thursday.
Friday 3/7
The Bureau of Labor Statistics releases the jobs report for February. Economists forecast a 155,000 increase in nonfarm payrolls, after a 143,000 gain in January. The unemployment rate is expected to remain unchanged at 4%. Initial jobless claims have risen recently, adding to investors' fears of a "growth scare" that has shaved 3.1% off the S&P 500 since its record close on Feb. 19.
