SomerQuant Week Ahead · Week of 14 – 18 September 2026 · Earnings calendar & macro outlook · SomerQuant
The week at a glance
Forty-one companies are scheduled to report earnings this week, with Monday (12) and Wednesday (10) carrying the heaviest reporter counts and Friday the lightest (5); Monday itself carries no scheduled macro release, so its event risk is earnings only. The macro calendar is heaviest on Wednesday, which pairs the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate decision and quarterly economic projections with four other releases, then stays busy Thursday (jobless claims, housing starts, the Philadelphia Fed survey, pending home sales) and Friday (industrial production, capacity utilization, leading indicators). Lennar (Wednesday, after the close) and Fedex (Thursday) are the week’s only two reporters flagged as S&P 500 constituents in this dataset.
- 41 companies report this week; Monday (12) and Wednesday (10) carry the heaviest reporter counts.
- The Fed’s rate decision and economic projections land Wednesday at 2:00 PM ET.
- Lennar and Fedex are the week’s only two S&P 500 reporters.
Earnings calendar
Forty-one companies are scheduled to report between Monday 14 and Friday 18 September 2026, as pulled 14 September 2026, early UTC; dates and times can shift as companies confirm their reporting windows. Each day below is capped at the 12 largest names by the calendar’s own ranking, open interest descending; no day this week reached that cap. “Expected move” is the dollar move the options market implies for the report, as returned by the source; it is not a price target and does not indicate direction.

Macro calendar
Scheduled US economic releases for the week, as pulled 14 September 2026; times are Eastern Time and subject to change.

No release was returned for Monday 14 September.

Three other central banks also meet this week, though none carries a scheduled time of day in the source: the Central Bank of Brazil meets Wednesday, the same day as the Fed (Selic currently 14.00%, set 7 August 2026); the Bank of England meets Thursday (Bank Rate currently 3.75%, set 1 August 2026); and the Bank of Japan meets Friday (policy rate currently 1.00%, set 5 August 2026).
What the calendar means for the tape
Event risk clusters on Wednesday, which pairs the week’s second-heaviest earnings slate (10 of the 41 scheduled reports, including Lennar after the close) with its heaviest macro slate: five releases, headlined by the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate decision and economic projections at 2:00 PM ET. Monday carries the week’s largest reporter count, 12, but no scheduled macro release, so its event risk is earnings only; Thursday and Friday each pair a lighter earnings slate, 6 and 5 reporters, with a fuller macro morning of their own, and each also carries a separate central-bank meeting, the Bank of England on Thursday and the Bank of Japan on Friday.
The options tape heading into the window was call-led: Friday 11 September’s market-wide close showed 39,329,345 calls traded against 30,946,792 puts, a put/call ratio of 0.79, with call premium of $18.60B against put premium of $13.03B. September has historically been a soft month for the broad market: across the 19 Septembers on record, SPY averaged a monthly change of −0.86% with a median of +0.30%, closing positive in 11 of 19 years (57.9%), while QQQ averaged −0.55% with a median of +0.42%, positive in the same 11 of 19 years (57.9%).
Names on the radar for the week
The following are the week’s ten most-active reporters, ranked by the calendar’s own open-interest field, descending, as pulled 14 September 2026. Open interest counts outstanding option contracts and is not a measure of expected direction.
| Rank | Ticker | Company | Report date | Open interest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VZLA | Vizsla Silver | Mon 14 Sep | 247,985 |
| 2 | UPXI | Upexi | Tue 15 Sep | 153,516 |
| 3 | NNDM | Nano Dimension | Wed 16 Sep | 135,403 |

Method note
Earnings-calendar, economic-calendar, central-bank-rate, market-state and seasonality data sourced from Unusual Whales; MPI score and regime classifier are our internal composite, last published in the SomerQuant Daily. Each day’s earnings table is capped at the 12 largest names by the source’s own open-interest ranking, descending; no day this week reached that cap (Monday 12, Tuesday 8, Wednesday 10, Thursday 6, Friday 5, of 41 total). Report time reflects the source’s report_time field, shown as “—” where it is returned as unknown, true for a majority of this week’s reporters; the source’s separate market_time field was not used for timing because it read “postmarket” on 40 of the 41 rows regardless of report_time, consistent with a snapshot of trading-session status rather than each company’s own disclosed reporting time. No macro release was returned for Monday, and no release this week carried a consensus or forecast figure, so no consensus column is shown; a null prior value renders as “—”. Bank of England, Bank of Japan and Central Bank of Brazil meeting dates and current policy rates carry no time of day in the source; the Federal Reserve’s decision time is from the economic calendar. Historical one-day earnings-reaction data was returned by the source but is not shown here pending confirmation of its chronological order. Market-state figures (call/put volume and premium) are from the last full session before this window, Friday 11 September 2026. No chart accompanies this first edition of SomerQuant Week Ahead.
