Monday
Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS) and Masco Corporation (NYSE: MAS) are expected to kick off the week in earnings by posting year-over-year growth on the bottom line before the opening bell, followed by Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE: CSC) later in the day.
However, the consensus forecasts for Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc (NYSE: DO), Loews Corporation (NYSE: L) and Randgold Resources Ltd. (NASDAQ: GOLD) suggest profits will have diminished over the past quarter.
Tuesday
The fourth-quarter forecast for Coca-Cola calls for earnings per share (EPS) of $0.42 on revenue of $10.76 billion. In the same period of last year, the company posted EPS of $0.46 and revenue of $11.04 billion. EPS have not fallen short of estimates in recent quarters, but the consensus estimate has dropped two cents in the past 60 days. Watch for the report before the markets open.
Expectations from America Movil SAB de CV (NYSE: AMX) and Pioneer Natural Resources (NYSE: PXD) are flat.
Wednesday
Early Wednesday, PepsiCo will post per-share earnings of $1.08 on revenue of $19.66 billion, if the consensus forecast for the fourth quarter is correct. That would compare to EPS of $1.05 and $20.12 billion in revenue posted in the year-ago period. Note that the EPS topped estimates by at least 5 percent in the previous three periods.
After the regular trading session ends, the earnings spotlight will fall on Cisco and on Tesla. The consensus forecast calls for EPS from the networking giant to have risen almost 8 percent to $0.51 in the fiscal third quarter. From the electric car maker, earnings of $0.31 per share are anticipated, down from the $0.33 figure posted a year ago.
Quarterly revenue at Cisco is expected to total $11.79 billion, a gain of less than 6 percent from a year ago. From Tesla, a revenue jump of more than 61 percent to $1.23 billion is predicted, as well as a top line gain of more than 49 percent for the full year.
Thursday
Avon is scheduled to share its results before the markets open, and per-share earnings are expected to have retreated more than 26 percent to $0.25. Also, that estimate has slipped by three cents in the past 60 days.
Revenue for the fourth quarter is forecast to be more than 11 percent lower to $2.36 billion.
In its post-session report, Groupon is expected to report $0.03 per share on the bottom line, down from $0.04 in the fourth quarter of last year. Yet, revenue is estimated to come to $909.29 million for the quarter, which would be more than 18 percent higher, relative to the year-ago period.
