Stock Watch: Fortrea Holdings, Oracle, and Other Companies to Keep an Eye On

As U.S. stock futures pointed downward on Monday morning, investors are turning their attention to a select group of companies that might influence market movements today. Significant among these is FTRE, Fortrea Holdings Inc., expected to unveil its quarterly earnings, with predictions placing the EPS at 24 cents on a revenue forecast of $776.06 million. Prior to the start of trading, these figures should give an early indication of the company's financial health and could set the tone for market sentiment regarding clinical development and patient access solutions in the life sciences sector.

Oracle in Focus

ORCL, the American multinational technology giant now based in Texas, might also capture investors' eyes. Oracle's strong presence in database software, cloud engineered systems, and enterprise software products keeps it at the forefront of the technology sector, and market watchers will be keen to see how it performs in a possibly turbulent market day.

Real Estate and Retail on the Radar

A closer look at real estate sees AXR, AMREP Corporation, which engages mainly in real estate and is headquartered in Pennsylvania. The company's stock could be particularly interesting to investors looking for exposure to the property market. Additionally, the convenience stores operator CASY, Casey's General Stores, with its broad network of outlets across the U.S., may also see some activity as retail continues to adapt to shifting market trends.

The Food Industry Players

Rounding out the list is CVGW, Calavo Growers, Inc., known for its avocados and perishable foods distribution. The company's reach into various retail segments, from grocery and foodservice to mass merchandisers, puts it squarely in the view of those tracking the food industry's performance amidst market fluctuations.
