Capital Senior, Brookdale, Senior Housing Lead Old Folks Homes Earnings Week (CSU, BKD, SNH, SRZ, SCI)

This week, we’ll see earnings from many of the top publicly traded retirement homes.  We have earnings from Capital Senior Living Corp. (NYSE: CSU), Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (NYSE: BKD), Senior Housing Properties Trust (NYSE: SNH), and Sunrise Senior Living Inc. (NYSE: SRZ).  This earnings preview report wouldn’t be complete without the grand finale.  The global leader in funeral homes and cemeteries, Service Corp. International (NYSE: SCI), is also on deck to report earnings.

Below is an orderly report calendar for the top stocks in this sector that are reporting earnings this week:
