The Dallas-Fort Worth area is poised for a week of significant business activity as several major companies prepare to release their third-quarter earnings. Among them, engineering giant AECOM will announce its results on November 16, following a previous quarter that fell short of analyst expectations. Retail powerhouse Home Depot is also set to report its third-quarter earnings on the same day, adding to the anticipation surrounding the financial performance of major retailers.
One of the most notable days for earnings reports this quarter will feature tech giant Nvidia, alongside TJX Companies, which owns T.J. Maxx, and big box retailers Lowe’s and Target. Investors will be keenly watching for insights into how these companies are navigating current economic conditions.
Small Business Expo and Notable Talks
In addition to corporate earnings, the Small Business Administration will host its Small Business Expo at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center. The event, designed to support entrepreneurs, will include workshops, classes, and networking opportunities, as well as assistance from lenders and investors interested in fostering new business ventures.
On November 16, Steven B. Kamin, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, will engage in a fireside chat with Mark A. Wynne, vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. This discussion will focus on the role of the U.S. dollar and will take place during a lunch event at the bank’s office located at 2200 N. Pearl St.
Meanwhile, former CNN and Los Angeles Times CEO Tom Johnson will share insights from his book, “Driven,” which chronicles his journey from a reporter at the Macon Telegraph in Georgia to leading two of America’s major news organizations and eventually serving in the White House. This free event is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at Interabang Books.
Education and Architectural Insights
In related events, Karen Molinar, superintendent of Fort Worth Independent School District, will be a key speaker at the Fort Worth Chamber’s Women’s Leadership Summit. Her participation underscores the importance of leadership in education and community development.
Another highlighted event will feature Dallas native and renowned architect Larry Boerder, who will discuss the city’s unique architectural history at Interabang Books at 5 p.m. Boerder’s firm is known for its modern revivalist designs in prestigious neighborhoods, including Highland Park, University Park, and Preston Hollow.
As the week progresses, focus will also shift to the earnings reports of companies like Walmart, Intuit, Ross, and Gap Inc., alongside Jacobs Engineering, which is recognized for its single-letter stock ticker “J.” Analysts will be closely monitoring how external factors such as tariffs and economic pressures may impact Jacobs’ performance.
In addition, BJ’s Wholesale Club is set to report third-quarter earnings ahead of the launch of its first stores in the Dallas area in the coming months. This expansion reflects growing retail dynamics in the region, further shaping the business landscape.
