Key Highlights

  • Shopify (NASDAQ:SHOP) grew second quarter Revenue 34 percent and guides to low-thirties growth, with calendar EPS of USD 0.46 and a Market Value near USD 201.29 billion ahead of its report before the open.
  • Dynatrace (NYSE:DT) grew first quarter revenue 16.3 percent to USD 554.55 million, above guidance, and guides to USD 565 million to USD 570 million, though its November 3 report date is an unconfirmed estimate.
  • Thomson Reuters (NYSE:TRI) shares rose 6.94 percent on October 22, 2026 on an AI tax launch, yet third quarter adjusted EBITDA Margin is guided to about 36 percent against 38.1 percent in the second quarter.
  • Leidos Holdings (NYSE:LDOS) narrowed 2026 guidance to EPS of USD 12.20 to USD 12.50, the fourth consecutive low-end raise, while health margin is guided to about 20 percent against a record 25.7 percent a year ago.

Shopify (NASDAQ:SHOP): A Favorable Setup, Partly Priced

Shopify (NASDAQ:SHOP) is due before the open on November 3, 2026. Second quarter revenue grew 34 percent, or 33 percent in constant currency, with gross merchandise Volume growth above 30 percent and a free Cash Flow margin of 18 percent. The third quarter outlook is revenue growth in the low thirties, operating expenses of 33 percent to 34 percent of revenue and a free cash flow margin from the high teens to the low twenties. One published consensus puts revenue near USD 3.74 billion, which is unverified. Merchant volume is the engine, because payments processing and related merchant solutions revenue tend to rise with it. In mid-October, Jefferies kept a Buy rating with a USD 175 target, Baird raised its Outperform target to USD 190 from USD 160 and Cantor Fitzgerald raised its Neutral target to USD 158 from USD 145. Jefferies also flagged an AI shopping Partnership with Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) as a possible catalyst, which is analyst-reported and not confirmed. A bear case is a growth deceleration or higher operating expenses after a four-week run of gains. A 10 percent move would shift market value by about USD 20.1 billion, simple arithmetic.

Dynatrace (NYSE:DT): Conservative Guides and Frequent Beats

Dynatrace (NYSE:DT) is expected before the open on November 3, 2026, though published data lists the date as an unconfirmed estimate. Management guided adjusted EPS to USD 0.48 to USD 0.49 and revenue to USD 565 million to USD 570 million. Published consensus of USD 0.49 and about USD 568.04 million sits in the upper half of both ranges. Last quarter, revenue of USD 554.55 million beat the USD 551 million top end, and adjusted EPS of USD 0.48 beat the USD 0.45 top end, simple arithmetic. The company sells a platform that monitors software performance and security, and revenue is mostly subscription-based. Repeating that pattern would imply revenue near USD 573.55 million and EPS near USD 0.52, simple arithmetic on the top of guidance plus the prior beat. GAAP EPS in the first quarter was USD 0.12 against adjusted EPS of USD 0.48. A bear case is an in-line print, softer new customer commitments or cautious full-year guidance. Full-year guidance figures conflicted across published data and are not quoted. No peer read-across was verified.

Thomson Reuters (NYSE:TRI): AI Momentum, Margin Dip

Thomson Reuters (NYSE:TRI) reports on November 3, 2026, with published consensus of about USD 0.89 per share and USD 1.91 billion of revenue, while the screener shows USD 0.87. The margin guide of about 36 percent against 37.7 percent a year ago reflects a USD 19 million severance charge and AI investment, which is an interpretation of the guide and not a company statement. Legal and Corporates each grew 10 percent organically, while Tax, Audit and Accounting grew 8 percent, down from 11 percent two quarters earlier. Generative AI products represent 32 percent of annualized contract value. Full-year organic growth is guided to about 8 percent. Recent news includes the October 1 completion of the joint venture with KKR (NYSE:KKR) for the Global Print Business. Shares are up 12 percent since the last report, and a stock more than 25 percent above its 200-day average could give back gains if the margin dips below 36 percent. A bull case is a beat above USD 0.89 with tax growth back toward 10 percent. No options-implied move or peer print was found.

Leidos Holdings (NYSE:LDOS): Defense Growth Against a Health Reset

Leidos Holdings (NYSE:LDOS) reports before the open on November 3, 2026, with a call at 8:00 a.m. ET. Published consensus is EPS of USD 3.06 on revenue near USD 4.71 billion, while the screener lists USD 3.04, and neither is a company number. Full-year guidance is EPS of USD 12.20 to USD 12.50 and revenue of USD 18.2 billion to USD 18.4 billion. Defense organic growth reached 6 percent last quarter with a 2.2 times book-to-bill, and the company generated record free cash flow of USD 761 million. Health is being deliberately reset, with margins near 20 percent for the rest of 2026. Recent news includes a USD 1 billion financing led by Blackstone Credit and Insurance on October 12 and U.S. Cyber Command selections on October 21 and October 28. Shares were about USD 136 on October 26, below the 200-day average near USD 143. A defense beat and a fifth guidance raise could retest USD 143, about 5 percent higher, simple arithmetic. Health margins under 20 percent or a guidance stall could take the stock toward USD 129, about 5 percent lower.

Where Things Stand

The highest bar belongs to Shopify (NASDAQ:SHOP), because a 34 percent growth rate and rising analyst targets leave the setup favorable but partly priced. Thomson Reuters (NYSE:TRI) must show that a margin dip to about 36 percent is temporary after a 12 percent rally. Dynatrace (NYSE:DT) tends to guide conservatively, so a beat above consensus is the usual bar. Leidos Holdings (NYSE:LDOS) needs defense growth to outrun a health margin falling toward 20 percent. All four are upcoming events on November 3, 2026, and board EPS figures are unverified against company filings.
