Halloween and the Day of the Dead arrive this week. If analysts' forecasts are correct, there are only a few earnings reports that may scare investors. For instance, Alpha Natural Resources
ANR earnings are predicted to have fallen 93.1% year over year to $0.58 per share. Allstate
ALL EPS are expected to have fallen 89.2% to $0.09 and Hartford Financial's
HIG to be 84.5% lower to $0.23 per share.
And companies expected to post net losses when they report quarterly results this week include AIG
AIG, Apollo Global Management
APO, KKR
KKR, LinkedIn
LNKD, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia
MSO and Overseas Shipholding
OSG.

Mastercard
MA is on deck to report its third-quarter results Wednesday. The consensus forecast calls for earnings of $4.82 per share and revenues of $1.7 billion. That is up from $3.94 per share and $1.4 billion in the same quarter of last year. Note that analysts have underestimated Mastercard's per-share earnings in the past six quarters.
Media will also be a focus Wednesday as Comcast
CMCSA, News Corp.
NWSA and Time Warner
TWX report their quarterly results. Analysts predict year-over-year EPS growth from each of them: 22.5%, 3.4% and 18.4% respectively. Revenues for all three are expected to be higher than a year ago as well.

DTV. Earnings are forecast to be 24.7% higher year over year to $0.73 per share, with revenues up 11.9% to $6.7 billion. Starbucks and DirecTV have not fallen short of consensus EPS estimates in the past few quarters.
