This Week in Retail: Amazon earnings and supply chain conference

February 2, 2026

The harsh winter weather continues this week for much of the country, but some of you are kicking up your heels in Orlando, Florida, for the Retail Industry Leaders Association’s LINK supply chain conference. The event brings together retailers, brands, and top supply chain executives to discuss the entire value chain and share best practices and innovations.

Here’s what else is going on in retail this week:

In earnings: There is a healthy mix of retail and retail-adjacent earnings this week, ranging from CPGs and video game developers to beverage conglomerates and tech firms. Up first on Monday are Simon Property Group, the biggest mall owner in the US, and Tyson Foods, the biggest meat company in the US. Then Pepsico and Mondelez are up next on Tuesday for a look at both the alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage industries, and on the same day are two video game titans, Electronic Arts and Take-Two Interactive. Last but not least, Amazon is reporting on Thursday along with Roblox, which is increasingly getting into the e-commerce business.

In data releases: On Tuesday, the New York Fed will release its Economic Heterogeneity Indicators (EHIs), which measures macroeconomic outcomes, with data on two new topics: consumer spending and small business. The consumer spending topic will cover spending on retail, food, gas, and beverages across different income, education, race/ethnicity, and age groups, as well as across geographies.

In webinars: Software companySalsify is hosting a webinar on Tuesday titled “AI Path to Purchase: The Next 5 Years Starts Now,” which will explore how brands can build effective content, from on-page organization and product descriptions to technical SEO factors that help products get picked up through algorithms.

In industry gatherings: The NY Now Winter Market set up shop at the Javits Center in Manhattan on Sunday and will be up and running through Tuesday. The wholesale event gives both emerging and legacy brands a chance to display their latest products to prospective buyers from all over the world.
