The third-quarter earnings season is about to begin following a broad decline in share prices across the market, triggered by escalating US-China tensions last Friday.

For clues about the state of the U.S. economy amid the ongoing government shutdown, investors will be watching earnings from major financial giants such as:

  • JPMorgan Chase
  • Goldman Sachs
  • Citigroup
  • Wells Fargo
  • and Bank of America

Other names in focus include chip leaders ASML and TSMC, which may offer insights into semiconductor demand, while BlackRock’s results could shed light on broader investment trends.

Stronger-than-expected results could restore investor confidence and spark a market rebound. Dividend and buyback announcements may also lift sentiment, signaling financial strength and attracting investors seeking stability amid volatility.

Looking at companies paying dividends, this week features several with a strong global footprint that investors could consider for diversification, including:

  • Colgate-Palmolive Co – A global leader in oral care, personal care, and household products, known for brands like Colgate and Palmolive.
  • Diageo Plc – A multinational beverage company producing premium spirits, beers, and wines, including Johnnie Walker, Tanqueray and Guinness.
  • Caterpillar Inc – The world’s largest manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, engines, and industrial turbines.
  • Dell Technologies Inc – A leading provider of computers, servers, and IT solutions that help businesses and consumers drive digital transformation.

October also marks the month when investors typically see a wave of dividend announcements from locally listed ETFs and AMETFs. Recently, several funds from Reitway, FNB, ETFSA, and PortfolioMetrix have announced dividends across their respective funds.
