Insights From Analysts:
The Director and Senior Investment Strategist at Charles Schwab &amp; Co., Kevin Gordon, highlighted that the week ahead was crucial with important market-moving data scheduled to be released during this period.

According to Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research, &#8220;Naturally, the main event will be the Federal Open Market Committee's widely expected decision (Wed) to leave the federal funds rate unchanged. We are among those expecting no change.&#8221;
However, he expects that Fed Chair Jerome Powell&#8216;s press conference (Wed) will be relatively dovish, raising the odds of a September rate cut. &#8220;Nevertheless, we remain in the none-and-done camp in 2025 for now,&#8221; Yardeni added.
However, senior economist Mohamed El Erian noted that Trump&#8217;s Fed visit last week underscored &#8220;differing interpretations.&#8221;
According to him, some viewed it as a &#8220;truce,&#8221; citing the President&#8217;s pledge not to fire Chair Powell and his expectation that the Chair would &#8220;do the right thing&#8221; by cutting interest rates.
Whereas others saw the visit as an escalation, aligning with Steve Bannon&#8217;s &#8220;flood the zone&#8221; strategy. &#8220;They point to the awkward televised exchange between the President and Chair Powell regarding the renovation&#8217;s cost as evidence of continued and clear friction,&#8221; he added.
&#8220;This week promises to be an exceptionally busy one, packed with notable policy decisions, major economic data releases, and systemically important corporate earnings – all set against the backdrop of seasonally thinner market liquidity,&#8221; Erian added.
Meanwhile, Jamie Cox, the managing partner for Harris Financial Group spoke about the U.S. deal with EU.
&#8220;When Japan broke down and made a deal the EU had little choice. The biggest piece in the trade deal puzzle still remains, and the Chinese are unlikely to be as willing to fold. The next big durable theme in markets is security, and the EU deal only accelerates it,&#8221; he said.

US Stocks Higher; Charter Communications Shares Plunge After Q2 Results

Carter&#8217;s, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRI#NYSE">CRI</a>) shares slipped on Friday after weak earnings and mounting tariff concerns <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">clouded the retailer&#8217;s outlook</a>. The company reported second-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 17 cents, missing the analyst <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/b46625537/carters-inc-reports-second-quarter-fiscal-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate of 34 cents</a>.
Quarterly sales of $585.31 (+4% year over year) million outpaced the Street view of $561.14 million. The company&#8217;s adjusted operating income decreased to $11.8 million in the quarter under review, down from $39.5 million in the year-ago period.
Douglas C. Palladini, Carter&#8217;s CEO &amp; president, expressed his disappointment with the profitability decline, attributing it in part to &#8220;selective investments in pricing, new stores, and more normalized levels of performance-based compensation.&#8221;

The adjusted operating margin contracted to 2% from 7%, principally due to investments in pricing, new and remodeled stores, and increased performance-based compensation provisions.
International and U.S. Retail segment net sales increased 14.1% and 3.2%, respectively, while U.S. Wholesale segment net sales were comparable to the prior year.&nbsp;
Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter under review was $26.5 million, lower than $53.5 million in the year-ago period. The company exited the quarter with cash and equivalents worth $338.183 million.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariff War</h2>
The company said it is actively monitoring the U.S. administration&#8217;s proposal to impose substantial new tariffs on imported goods. If enacted, these tariffs would add significantly to the $110 million already paid in duties during fiscal 2024.
The company anticipates a net tariff impact of approximately $35 million to pre-tax earnings in the second half of fiscal 2025.
The estimated gross pre-tax impact of these new duties could range from $125 million to $150 million annually, depending on country-specific rates.
To mitigate the financial hit, the company plans to adjust product assortments, share costs with vendors, shift production locations, and increase prices.
Due to leadership changes and uncertainty around tariff policy, the company has suspended its fiscal 2025 guidance.
Price Action: CRI shares are trading lower by 21.1% to $25.84 at last check Friday.

Carter's Anticipates Net $35M Tariff Impact To Pre-Tax Earnings In Second Half Fiscal 2025

The Company has estimated that the gross pre-tax earnings impact of additional import duties under an additional baseline tariff of 30% for China, 20% for Vietnam, 19% for Indonesia, and 10% for all other countries is expected to be approximately $125 million to $150 million on an annualized basis. Over time, the Company intends to offset these additional costs through a combination of changes to its product assortments, cost sharing with its vendor partners, changes to the mix of its production by country, and raising prices to end consumers and its wholesale customers. In the second half of fiscal year 2025, the Company anticipates a net additional baseline tariff impact to pre-tax earnings of approximately $35 million.

What to Expect from Carter's's Earnings

Even as May&#8217;s inflation print was better-than-expected, it snapped a four-month falling streak and rose slightly, hinting that firms absorbed some tariff-induced price hikes.
What Happened: &#8220;Surprisingly, new and used vehicle prices declined in May, despite many expecting an increase in prices from tariffs,&#8221; said the chief economist at LPL Financial, Jeffrey Roach.
According to him, prices for apparel and autos, &#8220;both highly sensitive to trade conditions, declined in May.&#8221; Apparel prices also declined in April, indicating that these companies likely &#8220;absorbed tariff costs.&#8221;
&#8220;But don't expect that to continue,&#8221; he added.
Comerica Wealth Management&#8217;s CIO, Eric Teal, reiterated Roach&#8217;s point and explained that tariffs have not yet shown up in consumer prices. &#8220;But a lot depends on the absorption rate of U.S. companies and foreign suppliers.&#8221;
Teal believed that the majority of the tariffs would eventually get passed to the consumer, &#8220;but companies are cautious at this juncture about passing along the price increase.&#8221;
Similarly, the chief economist at Comerica Bank, Bill Adams, said, &#8220;CPI cool in May, but price increases are still likely to accelerate in the second half of the year.&#8221;
Here&#8217;s how automotive and apparel companies have performed in 2025 under the tariff pressures and fear of price increases.

Why It Matters: Contrary to the aforementioned views, the CIO at Northlight Asset Management, Chris Zaccarelli, believed that lower-than-expected numbers across the board and a trade deal with China that was agreed to in London would help &#8220;the narrative around tariff-induced inflation should subside.&#8221;
However, &#8220;we are still cautious, but many of the risks that were present in early April appear to be receding at this time,&#8221; Zaccarelli added.
On the other hand, Jamie Cox also believed that the disinflation trend should be intact in the coming months. &#8220;Shelter and energy are going to keep the disinflation trend intact &#8211; prices are moving down in two of the largest categories, so investors should expect further declines in inflation in the coming months,&#8221; he said.
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, fell on Wednesday. The SPY was down 0.29% at $601.36, while the QQQ declined 0.34% to $532.41, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
The futures of the S&amp;P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq 100 indices fell on Thursday.
