In the same quarter of the previous year, the company missed EPS estimates when it posted $0.32 per share and $117.86 million in sales. Note that 30 days ago the consensus EPS estimate was $0.67. For the current quarter, so far sequential growth of EPS and revenue is forecast. Analogic

is expected to report earnings and revenue growth this week as well.

First-quarter fiscal 2013 earnings from this Memphis-based specialty retailer are forecast to come to $5.39 per share, while revenues totaled $2.02 billion. In the same quarter of last year, the company beat EPS estimates when it posted $4.68 per share and $1.92 billion in sales. EPS estimates for the most recent quarter range from $5.22 to $5.55 per share. AutoZone has exceeded consensus EPS estimates in the past four quarters. It steps into the earnings spotlight Tuesday before the markets open.

In its Wednesday morning report, the maker of Jack Daniels, Korbel champagne, and other alcoholic beverages is expected report earnings of $0.78 per share for its fiscal second quarter. That would be up from $0.73 per share in the year-ago quarter, as well as a consensus EPS estimate of a $0.77 from 60 days ago. But EPS only topped consensus estimates in one of the past five quarters. Second-quarter revenues are expected to total $1.05 billion, which would be more than three percent higher than a year ago.

Third-quarter revenues are expected to total $631.30 million, which would be about eight percent higher than a year ago.

SAIC is a defense contractor headquartered in McLean, Virginia and is expected to report Wednesday that third-quarter fiscal 2013 earnings of $0.34 per share, compared to a net loss of $0.27 per share a year ago.
