Valentine’s Day is coming - where’s your boy/girlfriend? 🎶👀 While consumers are on the hunt to fund ‘special’ romantic getaways and bookings, investors can look forward to earnings announcements this week from some of the world’s leading travel and leisure companies, such as Airbnb and Marriott International.
Instead of just spending on those stays, why not also consider benefiting from the bookings made?
McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Shopify, DraftKings, Moderna, Vertiv, Cisco, Coinbase, and Astera Labs Inc. will also be announcing earnings this week.
Special payouts and stock dividends are on the way for shareholders of Trencor Limited, Equinor ASA, and Southern Copper Corp.
