The coming week is going to feel like a mini earnings season. We have many sector leaders reporting earnings and the fallout (or benefits) could be widespread. On deck are key earnings from the following: Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN); Adobe Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: ADBE); Carnival Corporation (NYSE: CCL); ConAgra Foods Inc. (NYSE: CAG); Jefferies Group Inc. (NYSE: JEF); Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ: ORCL); Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. (NASDAQ: BBBY); General Mills Inc. (NYSE: GIS); Red Hat Inc. (NYSE: RHT); CarMax Inc. (NYSE: KMX); Discover Financial Services (NYSE: DFS); FedEx Corporation (NYSE: FDX); Nike Inc. (NYSE: NKE); and Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE: RAD).
We have broken these out by day and included consensus earnings and revenue estimates from Thomson Reuters. We have also added in a price and recent trading activity and even added in the consensus analyst price targets. Many of these also have some added color for traders to consider about the earnings reports.
