<p>We have two homebuilder earnings due from Beazer Homes USA Inc. (NYSE: BZH) and PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE: PHM).  Other key earnings to watch will be from the following: Blackstone Group L.P. (NYSE: BX); Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX); CME Group Inc. (NYSE: CME); Dow Chemical Co. (NYSE: DOW); Genworth Financial Inc. (NYSE: GNW); Gilead Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: GILD); International Paper Co. (NYSE: IP); Kellogg Co. (NYSE: K); MasterCard Inc. (NYSE: MA); Merck &amp; Co. Inc. (NYSE: MRK); Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE: RCL); Starwood Hotels &amp; Resorts Worldwide Inc. (NYSE: HOT); Trimble Navigation Ltd. (NASDAQ: TRMB); Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: VRTX); YRC Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: YRCW).</p>
<p>We have included Thomson Reuters consensus estimates on each company.  On most we have included pricing data and/or other bits of color for traders to consider.</p>
<p>We have two different homebuilders on deck to report.  Beazer Homes USA Inc. (NYSE: BZH) is expected to post -$0.36 EPS on $211.4 million in sales and we would watch cancellation rates on contracts as well as the quality of the earnings.  Second is PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE: PHM) with an expected positive earnings of $0.07 EPS on $1.14 billion in sales.  Pulte&#8217;s cancellation rates and quality of earnings will also have to be monitored.</p>
<p>Blackstone Group L.P. (NYSE: BX) will show private equity wealth and earnings in the morning.  The firm is expected to report earnings of $0.38 EPS on revenues of $986.75 million.</p>
<p>Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX) has been down and out for longer than any current and past holder would like to consider.  Thomson Reuters has estimates of $0.08 EPS on $1.91 billion in sales.</p>
<p>CME Group Inc. (NYSE: CME) is expected to report earnings of $3.71 EPS and $754 million in sales before the market opens.  With a possibility of a state-relocation and the ongoing pressure of exchange mergers we would be watching this one.  At roughly $244.50, the 52-week trading range is $224.69 to $317.27.</p>
<p>Dow Chemical Co. (NYSE: DOW) is expected to turn in earnings of $0.30 EPS on $14.19 billion in sales.  The report is due in the morning.</p>
<p>Genworth Financial Inc. (NYSE: GNW) is expected to report earnings of $0.19 EPS on $2.58 billion in sales.  The shares are now up over 60% from the lows of the last year and the stock still remains pressured due to the mortgage insurance overhang that has been in place for quite some time.</p>
<p>Gilead Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: GILD) has shocked the market by outperforming despite what appears to be a bad use of effort and capital in the large acquisition.  Still, shares hit a new 52-week high on Wednesday.  Thomson Reuters has estimates of $1.05 EPS and $2.18 billion in sales. </p>
<p>International Paper Co. (NYSE: IP) is close to being within striking range of a 52-week high and it pays well above a 3% yield today.  Thomson Reuters has estimates of $0.61 EPS and $6.5 billion in sales.</p>
<p>Kellogg Co. (NYSE: K) is lagging and actually close to a 52-week low with shares around the $49.50 mark. The estimates are $0.63 on $2.99 billion in sales.  The bar is set very low here.</p>
<p>MasterCard Inc. (NYSE: MA) will show just what the interchange fee problems look like, but that is not fully reflected at all in current numbers.  The consensus estimates are $3.92 EPS and $1.73 billion in sales. With shares around $357 some are concerned over valuations here.</p>
<p>Merck &amp; Co. Inc. (NYSE: MRK) is reporting early Thursday morning and the company&#8217;s higher dividend hike has shares trading very close to 52-week highs with a price of close to $38.70 andf a 52-week range of $29.47 to $39.43.  Estimates are $0.95 EPS and $12.53 billion in sales. To show just how low growth is the estimates of $3.76 EPS and $48.23 billion in sales for all of 2011 are only expected to be $3.83 EPS on $47.62 billion in sales for all of 2012.</p>
<p>Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE: RCL) may or may not release.  With its rival&#8217;s disaster, we are not doing much legwork here.  Thomson Reuters has a projection of $0.15 EPS and $1.78 billion in sales.</p>
<p>Starwood Hotels &amp; Resorts Worldwide Inc. (NYSE: HOT) is key for hotel investors and this one is expected to post $0.57 EPS on $1.42 billion in sales. Starwood has over $1 billion in cash but is still trading at a high 3.7-times book value.</p>
<p>Trimble Navigation Ltd. (NASDAQ: TRMB) is not so widely watched on its own, but it is used as a barometer reading for Garmin.  Trimble estimates are $0.48 EPS and $419.10.</p>
<p>Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: VRTX) has been in the news with new FDA approvals.  We have Thursday as the tentative date and estimates are $0.73 EPS and $523.66 million in sales.</p>
<p>YRC Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: YRCW) is set to report and it is a puzzlement as to how this stock is still alive.  On a reverse split basis the $12.83 price compares to a 52-week range of $7.94 to somewhere over $1,000.  The consensus is listed as -$6.97 EPS but we have no idea how these targets are composed on this company.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://247wallst.com/2010/08/11/a-festering-pessimism-in-us-and-other-developed-nations/titanic-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-76486"><img class="alignleft" title="titanic" src="http://247wallst.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/titanic1.jpg?w=200&#038;h=163" alt="" width="200" height="163" data-id="76486" data-caption="" /></a>Carnival Corporation (NYSE: CCL) is getting hammered this morning after one of its Costa cruise lines grounded and partially capsized, resulting in the loss of life and resulting in million and millions of dollars of damages to Carnival and its earnings.  Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE: RCL) is being negatively impacted as well and it had nothing to do with this.</p>
<p>The company has put the quarterly hit at about $0.11 to $0.12 against its earnings per share.  J.P. Morgan downgraded the stock as a result of the accident&#8217;s impact.  Carnival&#8217;s Costa brand is countered by the other brands of Cunard, P&amp;O, AIDA, and Ibero internationally and the Carnival brand known so well throughout North America.</p>
<p>What is interesting here is that by seeing a drop of 16%, it is analogous to losing one-sixth of the vale when this is about 1% of its counted ships.  It sounds like too much of a drop on the surface, but this comes at a time when the European business is rocky and at a time when promotions are high.  Things were already tough, but this made a declining situation very bad.</p>
<p>Carnival shares fell more than 16% on Monday in London trading, but shares are up less than 1% in London trading today.  In New York, Carnival Corporation (NYSE: CCL) shares are trading down 16.3% at $28.74 and the 52-week trading range is $28.52 to $48.13. Its market value before this accident was over $26.6 billion.</p>
<p>Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE: RCL) is down 7.5% at $26.59 and its 52-week range is $18.70 to $49.99. Its market value was about $6.25 billion before the trading of this morning.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-108199" title="Norge cruise image" src="http://247wallst.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/norge-cruise-image.jpg?w=200&#038;h=67" alt="" width="200" height="67" />Investors love when iconic brands come public in an initial public offering.  Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. has now filed for an IPO in the United States.  Financial terms are not disclosed other than that the outfit will sell up to $250 million in common shares.  The company has also planned to list on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “NCLH.”</p>
<p>The investment banking group in the filing is rather small.  The filing shows underwriters as UBS Investment Bank, Barclays Capital, and Goldman Sachs.</p>
<p>We are assuming that even those located in Central Africa have likely heard of the name before.  The company is a leading global cruise line operator.  As far as where it operates, that is in North America, the Mediterranean, the Baltic, Central America, Bermuda and the Caribbean.  It usually goes for the “Freestyle Cruising” that allows passengers to go do as they choose rather than the forced cattle-call of the thousands of passengers jammed together in many of the larger format cruise ships.  Its fleet is 11 modern ships.</p>
<p>Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE: RCL) and Carnival Corporation (NYSE: CCL) are currently the only two large cruise line operators that are public in the U.S.-listings with the major exchanges.  Carnival is worth almost $28 billion and Royal Caribbean is worth almost $7.5 billion in market capitalizations.</p>
<p>For the twelve months ended March 31, 2011, the company&#8217;s total revenue was $2.0911 billion.  It listed net revenue of $1.5425 billion, net income of $28.1 million and adjusted EBITDA of $427.1 million with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.4%.  If you compare the first quarter of 2011 versus 2010, it is a very different picture:</p>
<ul>
<li>For the three months ended March 31, 2011: total revenue of $495.5 million, Net Revenue of $368.0 million, net loss of $10.6 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $81.9 million and an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.5%.</li>
<li>For the three months ended March 31, 2010: total revenue of $416.5 million, Net Revenue of $304.9 million, net loss of $16.1 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $59.5 million and an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 14.3%.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <a href="http://sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1513761/000119312511188844/ds1.htm" target="_blank">full SEC filing is here</a>.</p>
