Analysts predict that this Memphis-based logistics services company will say Tuesday that its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings came to $1.94 per share. That would be up from $1.75 per share in the year-ago period. That consensus EPS estimate has risen by two cents in the past 60 days. Revenues for the quarter are forecast to be 5.5% higher than a year ago to $11.1 million. The full-year forecast calls for EPS up 24.3% year-over-year to $6.50 and revenues 9.2% higher to $42.9 billion.

In its Thursday report, earnings from this multinational tech company are estimated to come to $0.78 per share for the fiscal fourth quarter. That would be an increase from last year's $0.75 a share. In the previous quarter, EPS exceeded the consensus estimate by more than 10%. Quarterly revenues are expected to total $10.9 billion, which would be marginally higher than a year ago. For the full year, $2.42 per share on $37.2 billion are predicted.

First-quarter fiscal 2012 earnings for this domestics retailer are forecast to come to $0.84 per share, while revenues total $2.2 billion. In the same quarter of last year, the New Jersey-based company posted $0.72 per share and $2.1 billion. Note that analysts have underestimated the company's per-share earnings in each of the past ten quarters. And the share price has risen to an all-time high ahead of Wednesday afternoon's report.

This maker of Peter Pan, Orville Redenbacher's and Chef Boyardee is expected to say that its fourth-quarter fiscal 2012 earnings rose three cents per share from a year ago to $0.33, while full-year EPS grew the same amount to $1.78. Both estimates are unchanged over the past 60 days. And analysts anticipate revenues for the quarter will be up 5.4% from year ago to $3.4 billion. Full-year sales are forecast to have risen 7.1% to $13.2 billion. The company will share its results Thursday morning.

On Tuesday, this company headquartered in the Chicago suburbs is expected to announce that its second-quarter earnings came to $0.99 per share on revenues of $1.8 billion. That compares to $1.09 per share and $1.7 billion in the same period of last year. Note, that consensus EPS estimate has risen from $0.93 just 60 days ago, and that analysts underestimated Discover's EPS in the past eight quarters.

The North Carolina-based aerospace company is expected to say Wednesday that for its second quarter of 2012 it had a profit of $1.71 per share. But that would be up from the $1.52 per share it reported in the same period a year ago. Note that Goodrich missed consensus EPS estimates in the previous quarter, ending a streak of seven consecutive quarterly beats. And analysts on average expect revenues to be 10.9% higher year-over-year to $8.9 billion.

The consensus forecast for this Richmond, Va.-based retailer of used vehicles calls for a profit of $0.54 per share on revenues of $2.8 billion. That EPS estimate in unchanged over the past 60 days. A year ago, CarMax posted $0.55 per share earnings and sales of $2.7 billion. The company will share its fiscal first-quarter results Thursday before the markets open.

Thursday, the largest bricks-and-mortar bookseller in the United States is expected to post a net loss of $0.93 for its fiscal fourth quarter. But analysts predict quarterly revenues will have risen 7.6% year-over-year to $1.5 billion. The full-year forecast calls for a net loss of $1.19 per share (the same as a year ago) and revenues 3.1% higher to $7.2 billion.
