Following this week's onslaught of economic data -- and hints of a potential December rate hike from the Fed -- next week's docket looks relatively bare, with Friday's consumer sentiment data one of just a few reports on the list. However, there's plenty of action on the corporate earnings front to hold Wall Street's attention. Semiconductor stocks will continue to be in focus, with a handful of high-profile chipmakers, including NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), scheduled to report.
Meanwhile, retail earnings start to heat up, with sector heavyweights Macy's Inc (NYSE:M) and Michael Kors Holdings Ltd (NYSE:KORS) headlining a busy slate, while results from Dow component Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS) are also due. Roku Inc (NASDAQ:ROKU) could also garner some attention, with the streaming name expected to take its first turn in the earnings confessional as a publicly traded company.
