Read MoreHide Full Article

The end of the second quarter earnings season is here but retailers, restaurants and some technology companies are still in the pipeline. This week, many national retailers will be reporting earnings including The TJX Companies, Target and Macy’s.

How is back-to-school buying? Is the consumer still spending? Any pull-back on luxury?

Each retailer, and restaurant, will be in a slightly different niche. Target sells not only apparel and beauty but also food. Macy’s has luxury as well as shoes. Urban Outfitters is on the higher price point with its Free People brand.

And the restaurant stocks have also been hit or miss, although, CAVA Group, which went IPO last year, is one of the hottest on the Street.

Will they beat this week?
