AI infrastructure names broadly cleared the earnings bar last week, with CoreWeave Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWV) and Coherent Corp. (NYSE:COHR) among those that passed the test.
Now Wall Street turns to the consumer.
Target Corp. (NYSE:TGT), Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT), Home Depot Inc. (NYSE:HD) and Lowe’s Companies Inc. (NYSE:LOW) all report in the days ahead, the clearest read yet on how American shoppers are holding up.
Yet none of the retail giants sits anywhere near the top of the volatility table. The biggest expected swings belong to a cluster of smaller names.
Screening Benzinga Pro for U.S.-listed companies worth more than $1 billion, these are the 10 largest implied movers of the week.
An implied move is the swing in either direction that options traders pay to hedge against ahead of a report. It measures expected volatility, not direction.
