Key Earnings Reports This Week

In the chart below, we highlight the number of companies reporting earnings on each trading day through August 8th.  While things do start to pick up this week, they don't really get going until the following week.  Next Thursday (the 17th) will be the most active for earnings, with 93 companies releasing their quarterly results.

As we mentioned above, this week isn't the most active for earnings, but there are still quite a few key stocks reporting.  Below we highlight some of the most widely followed stocks releasing earnings next week.  As shown, Genentech (DNA) reports after the close on Monday; Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Intel (INTC) lead the reports on Tuesday; Wells Fargo (WFC) and eBay  (EBAY) headline Wednesday; BlackRock (BLK), Harley-Davidson (HOG), JP Morgan Chase (JPM), Coca-Cola (KO), Nucor (NUE), SunPower (SPWR), United Technologies (UTX), Google (GOOG), IBM (IBM), Merrill  Lynch (MER) and Microsoft (MSFT) all report on Thursday, and Citigroup (C) and Honeywell (HON) wrap things up on Friday. 

For each stock, we provide its current EPS estimate and the four-week change in that estimate.  We also provide the percentage of the time since 2001 that the stock beat earnings and revenue estimates and guided higher.  Finally, we provide the average 1-day change in the stock on the first trading day following past reports.  Stocks highlighted in yellow have generally had the best reports and price reactions in the past.

Can anyone tell me why Thursdays have the overwhelming majority of earnings reports?

very nicely laid out - if possible, do this for each of the earning's weeks

you could call them "week one" - "week two" - etc

thanks!

Ronjsq: you already said that. Enough with the ads!

Lots of nervious investor...as there are several DOUBLE CLICKS ABOVE, it just shows how really nervious people are now that we are officially into a recession. Also "alpha has a chart" of sectors how low the different sectors have gone below the 50-day moving average. With that article and this one,,,you can see how things are headed.

Ronjsq, I am willing to make a bet with you that will significantly increase MY wealth:

I bet 250,000$ that Sirius will be NOWHERE near 10$ if and when the merger is announced. Matter of fact, it will be nowhere near 5$. Almost everyone knows the merger will go through, so a big part of that is priced into the stock.

Be careful, Ronjsq looks like a crook. If he does really advise clients on stocks, he is in severe breach of many if not all ethical and professional standards by posting one-sided ''recommendations'' like that.
