    Millicom International Cellular is set to release its quarterly results at 6:00 AM ET on August 6, before U.S. markets open. The report lands with Xavier Niel's $4.1 billion buyout bid still on the table, making this more than a routine earnings update — the numbers could directly shape how the board responds to that offer.

    Cash flow figures and management commentary on Colombia will be the key signals for investors. A strong quarter would bolster the board's argument that the company is worth more than Niel's current bid, potentially setting up a push for a higher price. Weak results, on the other hand, could reduce the board's leverage in any negotiation.
