Chart comparing the stock market performance of Netflix, ASML, Intuitive Surgical, and the S&P 500, with ASML up 138%, Netflix up 66%, the S&P 500 up 68%, and Intuitive Surgical up 15%.

1) Netflix Heads Up the Week's Team Rule Breakers Earnings

Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) -- a Foundational Stock in Stock Advisor and recommended by both Team Hidden Gems and Team Rule Breakers -- brings us a second-quarter update on Thursday. The stock has fallen in 2026 despite a good start to the year, with management chasing a doubling of annual advertising revenue.
ASML (NASDAQ:ASML) -- beating the S&P 500 by 111% since March 2025's SA recommendation -- is due to post Q2 earnings Wednesday morning, after beating expectations and lifting its full-year sales target in Q1. Expanding factory output is key now, following a rush of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven chip orders for 2027.
Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:ISRG) -- a Rule Breakers Foundational Stock -- will report Q2 figures Thursday, with the robotic-assisted surgery pioneer off to a healthy start in 2026. Watch for progress on upgrading client hospitals to da Vinci 5 and developments in AI tools.

2) Selected Q2 Earnings from Team Hidden Gems Recs

U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) reveals quarterly progress on Thursday, after posting a 4.1% year-over-year (YOY) rise in net interest income in Q1. Management expects revenue growth between 4% and 6% for the full year. Other banks reporting this week include JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), and Citigroup (NYSE:C) -- all on Tuesday.
Progressive (NYSE:PGR) provides its latest update on Wednesday, after Q1 showed strong policy growth and higher earnings -- with net income and earnings per share (EPS) both up close to 10% YOY.
Prologis (NYSE:PLD), recommended in Hidden Gems and Dividend Investor, reports on Thursday, with the year so far dominated by land acquisitions to pursue its big push into the data center business.

3) Markets Uncertain as Inflation Looms

Markets ended on a high note Friday, after SK Hynix (NASDAQ:SKHYV) climbed 13% following its initial public offering (IPO) debut -- though the Korean stock fell in morning trading today. The S&P 500 gained 1.2% over the week, and the Nasdaq rose 1.7%. Futures dipped this morning as the U.S. and Iran continued to trade strikes, with the S&P 500 down 0.5% and the Nasdaq losing 1.4% in early trade.

Price rises set to slow -- a little: Major banks lead off the new earnings season as inflation hits the headlines again. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) print is due Tuesday and is expected to show a slowing to 3.8% year over year from May's 4.2% rise. Analysts expect core CPI to dip slightly from 2.9% YOY to 2.8%. The producer price index update follows on Wednesday, having hit 6.5% in May against the prior-year period.
New Fed chair in the hot seat: Kevin Warsh testifies before Congress on Tuesday and Wednesday, following the latest CPI and PPI releases, respectively, as stubbornly high inflation raises the chances of an interest rate hike.

4) Today's Take: The Risk You Never Noticed

I have a feeling I'll be repeating some of my colleagues here, but it's worthwhile to just drive the point home: The riskiest thing you can do is not invest. And it's surprisingly easy! Bull markets look expensive, bear markets look scary, and volatile markets make you want to wait and see what tomorrow will bring. -- Karl Thiel, Team Rule Breakers
