Key Highlights

  • Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) reports on October 29, 2026 with the Street expecting a loss of about USD 0.23 a share on USD 1.21 billion of revenue, and Robinhood's 55% fall in crypto revenue is the closest read-through.
  • Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) reports after the close with EPS near USD 0.71 on about USD 9.2 billion of revenue, after Coca-Cola warned that consumer pressures could persist into 2027, which frames the whole consumer group.
  • Mastercard (NYSE:MA) is seen at EPS of USD 5.16 before the open, while Caterpillar is seen at USD 7.03, and Pinterest is seen at EPS of USD 0.49 on revenue near USD 1.21 billion.
  • First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) is expected to report EPS of about USD 4.67 around the same date, a day after Enphase fell after hours on its own report, so solar sentiment is cautious.

Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN): Crypto volume test

The consensus calls for a loss of about USD 0.23 a share on USD 1.21 billion of revenue. A loss forecast for an exchange operator is notable because the business depends on activity: when traders buy and sell less, transaction fees shrink while fixed costs for engineering, compliance and staff stay in place. The estimates come from one consensus table, so the figures may differ slightly from other providers and should be read as approximate. A loss of this size would be a sharp contrast with the profits that investors associate with the crypto cycle when prices were rising. The report is expected on October 29, 2026, the day after the Federal Reserve decision and alongside several other large releases, so the reaction may reflect the macro tone as much as the numbers. The figures above for Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) come from published market data and company statements and may be revised. Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD) reported on October 27, 2026 that crypto revenue fell 55% to USD 120 million, while prediction markets contributed about USD 173 million in the release text.

Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX): Consumer demand test

Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) is due after the close on October 29, 2026. Consensus sits near USD 0.71 a share on about USD 9.2 billion of revenue, with two sources giving USD 0.719 and USD 0.712, which is a small difference. Revenue of about USD 9.2 billion is the second yardstick, because a company can match earnings while missing on sales. For a coffee chain the key variables are customer traffic, average ticket size and margins, because a rise in spending per visit can offset fewer visits only up to a point. Management commentary on the outlook usually moves the shares more than a one-cent beat, since investors price the following quarters rather than the one just finished. The figures above for Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) come from published market data and company statements and may be revised. Coca-Cola reported on October 27, 2026 EPS of USD 0.91 against USD 0.88 expected and revenue of USD 13.4 billion against USD 12.9 billion, with global volume up 5%.

Mastercard (NYSE:MA): Payments read-through

Mastercard (NYSE:MA) reports with EPS seen at USD 5.16 and revenue near USD 9.65 billion. Its closest peer, Visa, reported on October 27, 2026 and showed a clean beat that still met profit-taking, with after-hours moves of about 1.96% to 2% lower and a cautious fiscal 2027 payment-volume view from one summary. For a card network, revenue follows cross-border travel, payment volume and fees, not credit losses, so the focus is volume growth and the outlook. If Mastercard (NYSE:MA) guides similarly cautiously, the sector could trade as a group. The estimates come from one calendar page, which can differ from other providers. A network that earns a fee on every transaction is less exposed to credit losses than a lender, so volume, not default risk, drives the debate. The figures above for Mastercard (NYSE:MA) come from published market data and company statements and may be revised. Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT) is forecast at EPS of USD 7.03 on about USD 20.53 billion of revenue.

Pinterest (NYSE:PINS): Advertising and gaming read

Pinterest (NYSE:PINS) is forecast at EPS of USD 0.49 on revenue near USD 1.21 billion. The company earns almost all of its revenue from advertising, so the report is a window into brand and performance budgets, and into how many users the platform keeps. Average revenue per user and monthly active users are the standard metrics, and growth in one can offset weakness in the other. Meta's record raise, reported at about USD 97.5 billion, has focused attention on AI-driven ad tools, which could favor large platforms. Investors will want to know whether smaller social networks are winning share or being squeezed, and what outlook management offers. A weak forecast can outweigh a clean quarter, because advertising budgets are set months ahead and guidance is the clearest signal of where they are heading. The figures above for Pinterest (NYSE:PINS) come from published market data and company statements and may be revised. Roblox (NYSE:RBLX) is forecast at a loss of about USD 0.43 a share on revenue near USD 1.63 billion.

First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR): Solar demand test

First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) is forecast at EPS of about USD 4.67. It is a utility-scale solar manufacturer, so its orders depend on project pipelines, tariffs and tax incentives, not residential demand. Enphase (NASDAQ:ENPH), a residential and commercial microinverter maker, reported on October 27, 2026 and fell after hours, with published moves ranging from about 10% to 15.7% lower, so the solar tape is nervous. A utility-scale producer can still diverge from the residential group, which is why guidance, bookings and backlog will matter more than the single quarter. The EPS figure is approximate and comes from one calendar. Investors will also look for any update on manufacturing capacity, since new factory output determines how much of the order book can be delivered and when. The figures above for First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) come from published market data and company statements and may be revised. Readers should check First Solar figures against the company's own release.

Where Things Stand

The answer is that the five reports give a wide read on crypto trading, consumer demand, payments, advertising and solar within one session. Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) is the loss-making outlier at USD 0.23 a share. Mastercard (NYSE:MA) carries the highest EPS estimate at USD 5.16. Pinterest (NYSE:PINS) is the advertising read. First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) is the solar read. Every figure comes from published consensus and none has been reported, so each article is a preview. The Federal Reserve decision on October 28 is the nearest catalyst. This is not investment advice.
