After the Dow Industrials posts a second straight gain, investors are turning to a heavy Tuesday agenda of earnings, executive interviews and fresh housing data. The session puts Boeing, Coca-Cola, UPS, Ford, Visa, Intel and Tesla in focus as markets gauge corporate performance and sector momentum.

Highlights

  • Boeing shares have fallen over 8% in three months and remain 17% below their January high ahead of Tuesday's earnings report.
  • The consensus for the S & P/Case-Shiller 20-City Composite Home Price Index for May points to a 1.3% increase, up from 1.14%.
  • Consumer discretionary stocks are down 6.2% in July, with Tesla falling 26% and leading sector underperformance amid rising oil prices.

Tuesday earnings and executive schedule

As reported by CNBC, several major companies are set to report quarterly results on Tuesday as earnings season moves further into high gear. Boeing, Coca-Cola and UPS are due during CNBC's morning programming, while Ford and Visa are scheduled to report after the bell on "Closing Bell: Overtime."

Boeing shares are down more than 8% over the last three months and remain 17% below their January high. CNBC says Phil LeBeau will cover the results and market reaction, while Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg is set to join "Squawk on the Street" at 9 a.m. ET.

Coca-Cola is up 11% over three months and sits 1.8% below a high reached earlier this month. CEO Henrique Braun is scheduled to appear in the 10 a.m. hour, while UPS, up 4% over the same period and 8% below its February high, is also due to report with CEO Carol Tome expected on the same program.

Market signals from housing, tech and consumer stocks

The economic calendar also includes the S & P/Case-Shiller 20-City Composite Home Price Index for May. Consensus estimates from Dow Jones point to a 1.3% increase, compared with the previous reading of 1.14%.

In technology, Jim Cramer highlights Intel on Monday's "Lightning Round," saying its prospects were strong. Intel is down 35% since hitting a new high on June 30, but the shares are still up nearly 150% so far in 2026.

Consumer discretionary stocks remain under pressure as oil rises. The sector is the worst performer in the S & P this month, down 6.2%, with Tesla the weakest name in the group after falling 26% in July.
