Markets will be closed for President's Day on Monday, but investors shouldn't let a day off next week fool them. The final full week of February will be a busy one, with more inflation data on deck by way of personal consumption expenditures (PCE), and 5-year inflation expectations out on Friday.

This list includes Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD), Beyond Meat (BYND), Booking Holdings (BKNG), DraftKings (DKNG), eBay (EBAY), Etsy (ETSY), Five9 (FIVN), Home Depot (HD), Intuit (INTU), Macy's (M), Monster Beverage (MNST), Papa John's (PZZA), and Wayfair (W).
