1. JD.com, Inc. ( (NASDAQ:JD) )

Chinese e-commerce powerhouse JD.com will report its latest quarterly results before the market opens on November 13. JD has emerged as one of 2017’s hottest foreign tech stocks, and headed into the report, shares of the online marketplace are up more than 56% on the year.

JD is currently sporting a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Based on our latest consensus estimates, we expect to see the company post earnings of 10 cents per share and revenues of $12.25 billion, which would represent year-over-year growth rates of 244% and 35%, respectively. JD has met or surpassed earnings estimates in five consecutive quarters.

2. Home Depot, Inc. ( (NYSE:HD) )

Home improvement retail giant Home Depot is scheduled to release its latest earnings report before the bell on November 14. Although brick-and-mortar retail has struggled recently, Home Depot tends to find success whenever the overall economy and housing market is strong. With that said, shares of the company are up over 21% this year.

Heading into its report, Home Depot is sporting a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). According to our most up-to-date consensus estimates, Home Depot is expected to report earnings of $1.81 per share and revenues of $24.47 billion. These results would represent year-over-year growth of 13% and 6%, respectively. What’s more, this report should act as a key bellwether for the domestic economy.

3. Walmart Stores, Inc. ( (NYSE:WMT) )

Big-box retail behemoth Walmart is set to announce its financial results before the market open on November 16. Thanks to several key acquisitions and investments, Walmart’s e-commerce business is gaining serious momentum and should be the focal point of its report. Of course, investors will also want to focus on key details like comparable-store sales figures.

Ahead of its report date, Walmart is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Our latest consensus estimates are calling for earnings of 97 cents per share and revenues of $121.02 billion, which would mark a slight bottom-line slump but a top-line expansion of 2.40%. Walmart has met or surpassed earnings estimates in eight straight quarters, and shares have gained about 30% in 2017.
