Earnings Rundown: WM, KDP, CDNS & More | Plus Keys to Breakout Structure

Watch the video below for the full breakdown, then catch the highlights right here.

Stocks kick off the last full week of October earnings, and several S&P 500 names are setting up at key technical levels.

In this quick review, I’m highlighting what stands out on stocks reporting earnings on Monday, October 27th— and how price structure and momentum are aligning (or not) as reports approach.

Here’s what I’m seeing:

1️⃣ Revvity (RVTY): Bearish Momentum Still in Control
The stock has been recovering, but it’s doing so inside the Bearish RSI Power Zones. Until price can close above the July 25 high at 104.41, upside looks limited. Any bounce here remains countertrend — a reminder that the strongest setups form once resistance gives way with conviction.

2️⃣ Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP): Range-Bound and Weak
Momentum continues to lean lower while the stock chops inside Bearish Resistance. It hasn’t proven it can sustain above short-term moving averages yet. Unless there’s a clean breakout through prior swing highs, sellers still have the upper hand.

3️⃣ Cadence Design Systems (CDNS): Key Level at 355.00
Price has pulled back from a double top but is still in a broader uptrend from early April. A decisive move above 355.00 could target 375.00 and potentially new highs, while failure to clear that zone opens the door to 315.00–290.00. This is one of those charts where defining the boundary lines keeps you ready for either outcome.

4️⃣ Welltower (WELL): Trend Support Holding Firm
Momentum continues to hold inside the Bull Support Power Zone, confirming healthy strength. Even without a short-term setup, this structure shows how solid trends “breathe” through shallow pullbacks. When support holds like this, it often sets up the next continuation phase.

5️⃣ Principal Financial Group (PFG): Slow Climb, Steady Structure
The recovery remains choppy but controlled. Price continues to form higher lows, and a breakout above the March high could open room toward $89–$90. The measured pace here reflects accumulation — not excitement — and that’s often a good sign.

6️⃣ Nucor (NUE): Boundaries Define the Next Move
Price has been consolidating after a strong run, and the September 17 gap stands out as a key trigger zone. A close above that area would suggest a shift toward 150.00 +. Watching how price behaves at those edges is often more revealing than the earnings report itself.

7️⃣ Waste Management (WM): Downtrend Intact
Lower highs and persistent bearish momentum keep this chart under pressure. RSI remains deep in the bearish zones, signaling sellers are still in control. Until momentum reclaims the bull support area, rallies are likely short-lived.

8️⃣ Brown & Brown (BRO): A Measurable Momentum Setup
While the trend remains lower, a recent pattern caught my attention. Four Zones RSI Coverage System traders — compare Oct 8 to Aug 20 and map your targets. It’s a strong example of how combining structure with momentum can uncover precise upside and downside projections.

When price, timing, and momentum line up, that’s where clarity appears — especially heading into earnings.
These charts are a reminder that setups develop before the headlines, and price action always tells the real story.
