The Investing Week Ahead: 6/20/22
Kim Kardashian's impact on the stock market, Fedex's +53% dividend hike, and housing data.
Ready for a short week?
We certainly are. The broader Rate of Return team is traveling this week, so please forgive us if we’re slow to reply to your comments. Looking for something to read while we’re gone? Below are a few of our favorite posts.
The Investing Week Ahead - Too Long, Didn’t Read:
⚡ The earnings spotlight shines on Accenture, Darden Restaurants, and FedEx.
⚡ Both Amazon and Kim Kardashian could teach us a thing or two this week.
⚡ Further updates on the Fed’s plan and how it’s impacting real estate.
Key Earnings Announcements:
After all of this market turbulence, a tame earnings week gives us a well-deserved break.

Friday (6/24): Carnival, CarMax
Reminder: The stock market is closed on Monday in recognition of Juneteenth.
If you recall from this post, the market clearly re-rated Accenture’s (ACN) valuation multiple given the lack of visibility into the company’s financial future. However, during their last earnings call their management team made it very clear to investors that their pipeline is robust and that only ~30% of enterprise workloads have been migrated to the cloud — representing opportunity. Let’s see just how much opportunity was still up for grabs!
