The fourth-quarter earnings releases continue for the week starting Feb. 26. Domino’s (DPZ) will move with high volatility today. Although Domino’s typically reports modest earnings per share and revenue growth, it is a must-hold stock.
After the market closes, Unity (U), Zoom (ZM), and iRobot (IRBT) will post results. iRobot is the stock to avoid after Amazon (AMZN) abandoned its plans to buy the automated vacuum supplier.
Unity Software may struggle to rally if the company does not report a big enough cost cut. Earlier this month, Macquarie downgraded the stock to underperform and issued a $20 price target. A weak earnings report could send the stock in the $20 - $25 range. A strong report would lift the stock above $40.
