The Week Ahead (7 April 2007)

From William Trent, CFA of Stock Market Beat

The Economic Calendar looks pretty dull next week, with only Friday’s PPI report likely to get us excited. Look for our usual industry pricing power report.

Looking less dull is the earnings calendar, as earnings season officially begins.

  • Research in Motion (RIMM) reports on Tuesday. Consensus is calling for $0.99 EPS on $933 million in sales, and guidance of $1.04 on $994 million for next quarter. We’re taking the under.
  • Genentech (DNA) also reports on Tuesday. Consensus wants $0.67 EPS on $2.75 billion in sales and guidance of $0.71 on $2.9 billion for next quarter.
  • Lam Research (LRCX) reports on Thursday. Consensus expects this quarter and next to bring in about $1.06 on $645 million in sales. We are expecting order flow to disappoint.
  • Infosys (INFY) reports on Friday.  Consensus wants $0.40 on $865 million in revenues, and guidance for $0.40 on $920 million. They will make the numbers, but investors will listen closely to the update on visas and employee retention.
