today's close and before tomorrow's open, Brazilian banks appear to be

outperforming U.S. banks, with Nu Holdings consolidating at a peak.

Concurrently, two retailers are trending in different directions. It's

unsurprising that projections for the two differ too: Target is anticipated to have weak results, while TJX's results are expected to reflect a long-awaited trade-down from the consumer. The surge observed in Coherent isn't due to earnings, but a new laser. The outlook remains modest for their upcoming results. However, if the stock takes a hit, it might present a good buying opportunity, considering that new products typically influence future earnings rather than immediate results.
