A more global cast than usual. Saudi Aramco anchors Monday into a firmer oil tape and a re-cut dividend; Constellation Energy prints the same day on the AI-power trade. Tuesday stacks Munich Re's first reinsurance read of the year alongside Sea Limited's South-East Asia consumer print. Wednesday delivers Tencent's first 2026 quarter and Cisco's hyperscaler AI-order update inside one tape. Applied Materials closes the wafer-fab equipment story on Thursday, and Recruit's Indeed numbers on Friday give a corporate-level read on the global labour market.
๐ธ๐ฆ Saudi Aramco
$2222 publishes Q1 on Sunday 10 May, with the earnings call Monday morning. Consensus puts Q1 net profit near SAR 109 billion, up roughly 14% year on year and 57% sequentially, on revenue close to SAR 455 billion. Brent averaged around $79 a barrel in the quarter, up roughly 25% sequentially, with Aramco's realised price tracking near $81. Management has guided 2026 dividends to roughly $85 billion, down from $124 billion in 2024 after the performance-linked payout was effectively zeroed in late 2024, alongside a SAR 11.25 billion buyback programme that started in March.
Our readThe setup looks meaningfully cleaner than the 2025 prints, with firmer refining largely offsetting the production drag from OPEC+ voluntary-cut compliance. Watch for whether the performance-linked dividend component reappears now that crude has rebounded, the trajectory of capex against the $52–58 billion 2026 frame, any update on downstream Sinopec Yanbu and Sabic integration, and how management frames OPEC+'s decision to accelerate the 2.2 mb/d cut unwind into June. Even unchanged guidance into a higher-priced quarter would mark a turn in tone.
๐บ๐ธ Constellation Energy
$CEG reports Q1 with consensus near $2.56 of EPS on revenue of roughly $8.21 billion, around 20% top-line growth. The Calpine acquisition closed in January for $26.6 billion, taking total generating capacity to 55–60 gigawatts and adding the largest US gas and geothermal fleet to a company already the largest carbon-free producer in the country. To clear the DOJ's first electricity-merger consent decree in 14 years, Constellation completed a $5 billion sale of 4.4 gigawatts of gas capacity to LS Power in mid-March, with proceeds earmarked for the Crane Clean Energy Center restart that underpins the 20-year Microsoft PPA. The shares have come in roughly 22% from the 52-week high after a Q4 print and FY2026 guide that landed below AI-utility expectations, and PJM has flagged the Crane interconnection for potential delay to 2031.
Our readA clarification print rather than a positive catalyst. Watch for any new hyperscaler PPAs from the 147 terawatt-hours of available nuclear capacity, an updated path on the Crane interconnection dispute, the integration cadence of Calpine's 2,300 employees and 60-plus plants, and whether management reiterates the 20% earnings accretion target from the deal.
๐ฉ๐ช Munich Re
$MUV2 reports Q1 with management's three-year roadmap pointing to 2026 IFRS net profit of €6.3 billion, insurance revenue of €64 billion, and a P&C reinsurance combined ratio near 80%, all already raised at the November capital markets day. The Q1 print is the first read on whether the LA wildfire losses that hit Q1 2025 (€1.1 billion of net profit absorbed in major catastrophe charges) repeat in any form, and whether reinsurance pricing held into the April 1 renewal round after softer signals in January. The buyback authorisation runs at €2 billion for the year.
Our readMunich Re's balance sheet has held up well through three years of elevated cat losses, so the more important data point this quarter is on price discipline than profit. Watch for the magnitude of any Q1 nat-cat budget burn and whether the full-year cat budget is unchanged, pricing data from the April renewals (Florida exposure in particular), the trajectory of investment income as European rates have settled lower into 2026, and whether the €6.3 billion profit guide is reiterated or quietly trimmed. With Hannover Re reporting Monday and Zurich Insurance the same morning, the read-across to the broader European reinsurance complex will frame the May–June Florida renewal cycle.
๐ธ๐ฌ Sea Limited
$SE reports Q1 before the US open. Consensus sits around $6.4 billion of revenue and $0.96 of EPS after a Q4 that delivered 38% revenue growth to $6.9 billion and 73% net income growth to $411 million, capping a year where full-year net income reached $1.6 billion against just $448 million in 2024. Shopee finished 2025 with $16.6 billion of revenue (up 33%) and adjusted EBITDA of $881 million, a roughly six-fold improvement on 2024; Garena bookings reaccelerated to 24% in Q4; and Monee crossed $1 billion of adjusted EBITDA on a loan book that grew 80% to $9.2 billion. Management has guided Shopee to roughly 25% GMV growth in 2026 with adjusted EBITDA at least at the 2025 level.
Our readEach engine delivered in Q4, so the bar is for continuation rather than reacceleration. Watch for Shopee take-rate and ad penetration after Q4 ad revenue grew over 70%, Monee's loan-loss provisioning trajectory after a 67% quarterly increase, Garena's user pace given Q4 active users grew only 2.5%, and any colour on the Brazilian and Mexican Shopee operations. The stock has rerated hard on the profitability turn and now trades like a more mature platform name.

๐จ๐ณ Tencent Holdings
$TCEHY reports Q1 with consensus around 11% revenue growth and similar adjusted profit growth – the first 2026 print after a 2025 in which revenue rose 14% to RMB 752 billion and net profit climbed 16% to RMB 225 billion. Consensus puts online games revenue up roughly 12% year on year on a fuller pipeline including Honor of Kings: World, after Q4 saw international gaming up over 30% and domestic up 15%. Management has guided cloud to roughly 25% growth on AI-agent rollouts and Hunyuan 3.0, which launched in April, with advertising compounding on AI-enhanced targeting after Q4 grew 17%. Tencent spent about RMB 79 billion on capex in 2025 (close to flat on 2024 given the chip-curb constrained ramp) and has guided to a doubling of dedicated AI spend in 2026, which management said would trim non-GAAP margins by 3–4 points.
Our readThe capex re-up is the pressure point, not the revenue line. Watch for WeChat AI-agent rollout pace and any monetisation framing, Hunyuan 3.0 enterprise traction, the exact 2026 capex re-up, and whether the new game launches are already showing up in domestic gaming bookings. Alibaba reports in the same window – between them, the most useful signal we get on Chinese hyperscaler AI spend this quarter.
๐บ๐ธ Cisco Systems
$CSCO reports fiscal Q3 after the close, having guided revenue to $15.4–15.6 billion and non-GAAP EPS to $1.02–1.04 at the Q2 print in February. In Q2, revenue grew 10% to $15.3 billion, product orders rose 18%, and hyperscaler AI infrastructure orders hit $2.1 billion in the quarter alone – up from $1.3 billion sequentially and matching the entire FY2025 take. Management raised the full-year AI-order target to over $5 billion with hyperscaler revenue contribution above $3 billion, and called out design wins at five of the six major hyperscalers on Silicon One systems including the G300, the energy-efficient N9000 and N8000 platforms, and the new 1.6T and 800G optics. On Splunk, the cloud subscription mix shift weighed on revenue growth in Q2 and management said the drag would persist into the second half. Options are pricing an implied move of around 5%.
Our readThe hyperscaler-order line is the data point that matters. Watch for the AI-order pace inside Q3 and whether the $5 billion-plus FY26 frame is conservative, Splunk logo additions against the 1,000 full-year target, sovereign and neocloud AI orders after Q2 added $350 million from that bucket, and any read-through to FY27 AI-revenue conversion timing.
๐บ๐ธ Applied Materials
$AMAT reports fiscal Q2 after the close. Consensus sits at roughly $2.68 of EPS on revenue of $7.69 billion, in line with the company's own guide. ASML and Lam have already printed; the major US hyperscalers reaffirmed multi-hundred-billion-dollar 2026 capex envelopes in their April reports; and Morgan Stanley expects AMAT to lift calendar-year 2026 wafer-fab equipment guidance from 20% growth to 25% or more. Sell-side estimates put AMAT's DRAM exposure at roughly 31% of CY2026 revenue, the highest in the WFE group as HBM4 capacity ramps. China revenue ran around $8.5 billion in fiscal 2025 and the company accrued $252.5 million in Q1 to settle a Bureau of Industry and Security export-controls matter, including a three-year suspended denial order.
Our readThe backdrop here is unusually supportive – peer prints, hyperscaler capex reaffirmation, and HBM4 demand all point the same way. Watch for the H2 WFE shape and any update to the calendar-year guide, leading-edge logic mix at TSMC and Samsung, China share trajectory under tighter export rules, and the timing of the EPIC R&D centre investment that anchors the long-term GAA and 2nm story. KLA reports two days later, so AMAT's commentary will frame expectations.
๐ฏ๐ต Recruit Holdings
$RCRUY closes the week with full-year FY2026 results (year ended 31 March 2026). Q3 was a beat-and-raise: HR Technology US revenue grew 10.1% year on year on a USD basis with US Average Revenue Per Job up 18%, Q4 was guided to 12.4% revenue growth with ARPJ up 19%, and full-year guidance was raised to JPY 3,664.7 billion of revenue and JPY 763.8 billion of EBITDA-plus-SBC at a 20.8% margin, with EPS up 23%. HR Technology (Indeed, Glassdoor) generates the vast majority of group profits, with management citing Premium Sponsored Jobs and placement automation as the drivers of the ARPJ step-up.
Our readOf the prints this week, this is the closest thing to a corporate-level labour market read – Indeed's monetisation effectively maps to US employer demand. Watch for whether the FY2027 guide signals continued double-digit US growth into a softening labour backdrop, ARPJ trajectory after two quarters of 18–19% growth, the HR-related Matching and Solutions business in Japan as the labour market tightens, and any commentary on Glassdoor and Indeed Hiring Platform agentic AI rollouts. ADP and JOLTS softened on the margin in March and April; Recruit will tell us whether that's a real signal or noise.
