This watchlist leans heavily toward retail, with a couple of large-cap software names thrown in for good measure. The marquee name here is Oracle, but the biggest implied move is saved for last as we count down from the calmest setup to the most volatile.

9. Macy's | Mkt Cap: $5.9B | Implied Move: 7.53%

Macy's Inc. (NYSE: M) reports its second quarter of 2026 results on Thursday before the opening bell.

Wall Street is looking for earnings of 35 cents per share on revenue of $4.77 billion, compared with 41 cents on $4.81 billion a year ago. That sets up a quarter where the focus will be on whether the department-store operator can defend its margins and hold up demand as it laps last year's performance.

Macy's runs roughly 430 Macy's stores alongside Bloomingdale's and Bluemercury, so investors tend to treat its earnings as a read-through on discretionary spending and promotional intensity. The stock carries a Hold consensus rating, and shares are trading near the 180-day average analyst price target. In August, UBS and Citigroup raised their price targets, while Morgan Stanley moved its rating to Overweight.

Shares have slipped in 2026, down 1.2% year-to-date, but they've held 4.5% above the 200-day moving average since the 50-day moving average crossed above the 200-day in June. The stock sits about 15% below its 52-week high of $26.59.

8. Adobe | Mkt Cap: $110B | Implied Move: 7.90%

Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ: ADBE) reports its third quarter of 2026 results on Thursday after the closing bell.

Consensus estimates call for earnings of $5.84 per share on revenue of $6.70 billion, up from $5.31 on $5.99 billion in the prior-year quarter. For investors, the debate typically centers on how durable software demand is across creative tools, document workflows, and digital marketing as customers weigh their budgets.

Adobe sells content creation, document management, and digital marketing and advertising software and services, and the quarter can reset expectations around product momentum and monetization. The stock carries a Hold consensus rating, and the share price sits above the 180-day average analyst price target. In September, Barclays, RBC Capital, and Citigroup all raised their price targets.

The stock has declined in 2026, down 14.3% year-to-date, while still trading 3.6% above the 200-day moving average. Shares remain about 25% below the 52-week high of $370.86.

Chewy is an e-commerce retailer of pet food, toys, supplies, and medications in North America, and the earnings call can shape sentiment around customer retention and category mix. The stock carries a Buy consensus rating, and the 180-day average analyst price target sits well above where the stock trades.

Oracle sells enterprise applications and infrastructure across on-premises, cloud-based, and hybrid deployments, so investors will be listening for signals on cloud demand and the pace of enterprise spending. The stock carries a Buy consensus rating, and shares trade well below the 180-day average analyst price target.

That mix, higher sales but lower earnings, sets up a quarter where investors may focus on cost structure and demand elasticity in premium home furnishings.

The stock carries a Hold consensus rating, and the share price sits below the 180-day average analyst price target.
