Nvidia Earnings, Retail Giants' Results Captivate Investors

As of November 16th, 2025, the tech and retail sectors are in the spotlight this week. Earnings reports from artificial intelligence leader Nvidia and major retailers Walmart, Target, and Home Depot are captivating investors.

Nvidia, the world's most valuable company, is set to report its quarterly results on Wednesday. The AI trade has driven recent market volatility, and Nvidia's performance will be closely watched for signs of continued demand for its technology.

In the retail space, Walmart's earnings on Thursday come just days after the company announced a change in leadership, with John Furner taking over as CEO on February 1st. Target and Home Depot are also scheduled to report this week, with the latter's results expected to reflect rising demand for home improvement projects.

The end of the 43-day government shutdown, the longest in U.S. history, is also a significant development. The resumption of government economic reports, which were on hold due to the furlough of data-collecting workers, is expected to provide crucial insights for investors and officials evaluating the direction of the economy.

While the exact timing of the data release schedule is still unclear, investors will still have several noteworthy reports to monitor, including existing-home sales, housing starts, and the minutes of the Federal Open Markets Committee's October meeting. The final November report on consumer sentiment will also be closely watched for any impact from the government shutdown.
