Earnings season is back in the spotlight on Thursday, and the lineup reads like a cross-section of the American economy: department stores, creative software, database giants, and luxury furniture. Options traders, as they always do, have already placed their bets on how much these stocks will move after the numbers hit the tape.
The headliner here is Oracle, but the biggest expected swing belongs to a smaller name that closes out the list. Let's count down from the calmest to the most volatile.
4. Macy's | Mkt Cap: $5.9B | Implied Move: 7.04%
Macy's Inc. (M) reports its second quarter of 2026 results before the opening bell. Wall Street is looking for earnings of 35 cents per share on $4.77 billion in revenue, compared with 41 cents on $4.81 billion a year ago.
Options data from MarketDash shows the market is implying a 7.04% move, with $417 million of market value at stake. For a retailer with a relatively modest market cap, that's still a meaningful one-day range being priced around the report.
Macy's operates a large U.S. store fleet — about 430 Macy's locations alongside Bloomingdale's/Bloomie's and Bluemercury — so investors will be listening for demand signals across discretionary categories. The stock carries a Hold consensus rating, and shares are trading near the 180-day average analyst price forecast. In August, UBS reiterated its Sell rating and raised its price target, while Morgan Stanley moved its rating to Overweight in July.
Shares have been choppy in 2026, down 1.3% year-to-date, but they trade 4.1% above the 200-day moving average after the 50-day moving average crossed above the 200-day in June. The stock sits about 16% below the 52-week high of $26.59.
3. Adobe | Mkt Cap: $103B | Implied Move: 7.24%
Adobe Inc. (ADBE) reports its third quarter of 2026 results after the closing bell. Consensus calls for $5.84 in earnings per share on $6.70 billion in revenue, up from $5.31 on $5.99 billion in the prior-year quarter.
Options are pricing in a 7.24% move, according to MarketDash data, which translates to about $7.42 billion of market value at stake given Adobe's size. That implied range underscores how much investors still expect the tape to react to any shift in growth and guidance.
Adobe sells software and services spanning content creation, document management, and digital marketing and advertising workflows — categories where investors tend to key in on subscription momentum and product-cycle commentary. The stock carries a Hold consensus rating, and the share price sits below the 180-day average analyst price forecast. In September, Barclays, RBC Capital, and Citigroup all raised their price targets.
The stock has pulled back in 2026, down 22.8% year-to-date and trading 3.6% below the 200-day moving average. Shares sit about 30% below the 52-week high of $370.86.
2. Oracle | Mkt Cap: $468B | Implied Move: 10.06%
Oracle Corp (ORCL) reports its first quarter of 2027 results after the closing bell. The Street is modeling $1.67 in earnings per share on $19.13 billion in revenue, compared with $1.47 on $14.93 billion a year earlier.
MarketDash options data shows an implied move of 10.06%, putting roughly $47.1 billion of market value at stake. For a mega-cap software name, that's a sizable earnings window being priced in.
Oracle sells enterprise applications and infrastructure across on-premises, cloud-based, and hybrid deployment models, so the quarter can hinge on how customers are spending across those environments. The stock carries a Buy consensus rating, and the 180-day average analyst price forecast sits well above where the stock trades. In September, Guggenheim reiterated its Buy rating, while Morgan Stanley reiterated its Equal-Weight rating and raised its price target.
Oracle has pulled back in 2026, down 17.0% year-to-date and trading 3.6% below the 200-day moving average. Shares sit about 53% below the 52-week high of $345.72.
1. RH | Mkt Cap: $2.7B | Implied Move: 15.22%
RH (RH) reports its second quarter of 2026 results after the closing bell. Analysts expect $1.78 in earnings per share on $936.25 million in revenue, versus $2.93 on $899.15 million in the year-ago quarter.
According to MarketDash, the options market is pricing in a 15.22% move — the widest implied swing on this list — with about $414 million of market value at stake. That's a large percentage range for a single session, reflecting how sensitive the stock can be to any change in demand or outlook.
RH operates as a luxury furniture and lifestyle retailer in the domestic home-furnishings market, putting the spotlight on big-ticket discretionary spending trends. The stock carries a Hold consensus rating, and shares trade below the 180-day average analyst price forecast. In August, Wells Fargo reiterated its Overweight rating and raised its price target, while JP Morgan reiterated its Overweight rating and cut its price target.
RH has pulled back in 2026, down 26.3% year-to-date, and it trades 11.5% below the 200-day moving average even after the 50-day moving average crossed above the 200-day in August. Shares sit about 43% below the 52-week high of $253.05.
So there you have it: a Thursday earnings lineup that spans the spectrum from cautious consumer spending to enterprise tech demand. Whether you're watching the big caps or the high-beta names, the options market has already told you where the action might be.
