Earnings season really kicks into high gear this week with over 900 companies expected to report including several of the Magnificent 7 companies and dozens of other S&P 500 companies.

Among them will be some prominent retailers and two energy giants. Thanks to two mega-deals that were only recently announced, the energy giants will be in the spotlight this week.

Additionally, energy prices are back up, which means earnings are too. Energy has the top sector rank.

But with a recession allegedly looming on the horizon, who would want to buy the retail stocks now? These three retailers are in different segments of the industry: furniture, shoes, and the rural life. What will they tell us about the health of the consumer?


5 Must See Earnings Charts

1.    Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. (ETD - Free Report)

Ethan Allen is a furniture retailer. It saw earnings soar during the pandemic, but the pandemic buying has receded. Ethan Allen has only missed one time in the last 5 years and it was in 2019, before the pandemic. That’s an impressive track record.

Shares of Ethan Allen have weakened in the last 3 months, falling 7.3%. It’s cheap, with a forward P/E of 8.8.

Ethan Allen is also shareholder-friendly, with a dividend yielding a whopping 5.1%.

Is it too soon to consider a furniture retailer like Ethan Allen?

2.    Deckers Outdoor Corp. (DECK - Free Report)

Deckers makes two of the hottest shoe brands in UGG and Hoka. It has an excellent earnings surprise track record with just 1 miss in the last 5 years, which was in 2021.

Shares of Deckers have been on an incredible 5-year run, gaining 328%, but have weakened recently, falling 7.7% over the last 3 months. Deckers isn’t cheap, with a forward P/E of 22.

Can Deckers beat again this quarter?

3.    Tractor Supply Co. (TSCO - Free Report)

Tractor Supply, the rural retailer, had a tremendous streak of earnings surprises during the pandemic. It beat 12 quarters in a row. But in 2023, Tractor Supply has suddenly missed two quarters in a row. What’s going on?

Shares of Tractor Supply are up 118% over the last 5 years but have weakened in the last 3 months, falling 8.1% during that time. It’s not as expensive as some peers, however, with a forward P/E of 19.5.

Is this a buying opportunity in Tractor Supply?

4.    Chevron Corp. (CVX - Free Report)

Chevron has beat 4 out of the last 5 quarters. But the shares mostly move on the price of oil and natural gas. Crude prices have rebounded back over $80 in recent weeks.
