This conference goes beyond mainstay technology firms. A featured company speaking at the event is SolarEdge Technologies (SEDG), a leader in the global power electronics business. Amid rising commodity costs, surging power prices in Europe, and the ongoing semiconductor shortage, portfolio managers must pay close attention to comments made by the management team.

Consumer Discretionary & Consumer Staples

October 14 – Hormel Foods Corp. Analyst Day & Investor Update

We featured Hormel Foods (HRL) as an earnings outlier in our late August Event Data Outlook. Rising materials prices and increasing food costs were seen as a significant risk for the firm. The stock had been wavering over recent months as investors grew uneasy regarding the inflationary global outlook. Shares indeed slid further following a disappointing earnings reaction. Shareholders now look forward to an important Analyst Day at which executives will opine on the latest macro trends and firm-specific initiatives.

November 3 – Berenberg Video Gaming Conference 2021

The global video game niche was a strong market before the pandemic. It grew hotter once the world was stuck at home under lockdowns and quarantines. Then came a raw materials supply crunch earlier this year before another hammer was dropped upon the industry by way of China’s crackdown. A featured firm at this event is CD Projeky SA (CDR.PL), a holding enterprise based in Poland, engaged in the development of video games. The stock has sputtered in the last year after surging in 2019 and during the first eight months of 2020.  CDR.PL is also scheduled to present at Erste Bank Finest CEElection Investor conference 2021 from October 4 to 6 and once more in Spain at the Morgan Stanley European Technology, Media & Telecom Conference held November 17 to 19 before the company’s confirmed Q3 earnings date of November 29. Interestingly, on September 9, the earnings date was rescheduled from the original date November 30 date.

November 16-17 – Jefferies West Coast Consumer Conference 2021
November 18 – Bank of America Consumer and Retail Conference 2021

Financials & Real Estate

October 1 – Open Banking Security-Cyber Security Summit 2021
October 19 – Apollo Global Management Investor Day

Private equity firms have record amounts of dry powder to craft deals. While it has been a blockbuster IPO market of late, recent performances out of SPACs have been abysmal. There are many countervailing viewpoints in the investment management, hedge fund, and private securities industries. Apollo (APO) will provide its thoughts along with an outlook on the firm’s long-term growth strategy at this in-person Investor and Analyst Day. The event follows its October 1 shareholder meeting and precedes an unconfirmed Q3 earnings date of October 28.

November 15-18 Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference – ADIPEC 2021
November 18 – 6th Annual Lithium and Battery Supply Chain Conference
November 30 – Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. Petrobras Day New York

Brazil, a key emerging market for global growth, has suffered sharp equity market losses following a strong start to the year. Oil prices have been on the rise lately, often a boon for the resource-dependent nation, but shares of Petrobras (PBR) have dipped from their Q2 peak. PBR was a $300 billion market cap behemoth in its 2008 heyday but is now a shell of its former self. Investors and analysts hope for optimistic oil outlooks throughout the company’s three public meetings with analysts (November 30 – NY, December 2 – London, December 7 – Brazil).

Materials

November 11 – Goldman Sachs Annual Materials Conference 2021
November 16-17 – RBC 15th Annual Global Mining & Materials Conference 2021

October 12-14 – Berenberg UK Opportunities Conference 2021
November 8 – Goldman Sachs EMEA Conference 2021
November 9-10 – Berenberg US CEO Conference 2021

Investor Specific

October 5-7 – Societe Generale ESG/SRI Conference 2021

ESG investing continues to be a hot-button topic among portfolio managers. Flows into the thematic investment niche have surged in recent years—a brief COVID-19 hiccup barely registers on the chart. In fact, stakeholders now view the “S” as ever-more important as the pandemic progresses. Public opinion undoubtedly shows that firms must take care of employees’ and customers’ well-being. This SocGen ESG/SRI conference will be among the most important corporate events of the quarter from which to hear voices of the industry. Investors will learn what the latest socially responsible investing themes are as we head into the post-pandemic world.

October 20-21 – JP Morgan Asia Credit Conference 2021

Fears of an Asian Contagion redux were on the minds of traders in September. Evergrande, once a leader in Chinese real estate development, saw its bond prices deteriorate over the summer as investors prepared for the demise of the firm. For now, systemic risks appear contained, but that could change in short order. The JP Morgan Asia Credit Conference should be one to highlight on your calendar for the latest musings on this evolving situation.
