Below is a list of some of the key companies reporting earnings in the next two weeks. We highlight the date and time the company reports, the IBES and Whisper Number earnings per share estimates, revenue estimates, the average price change when the company beats or misses estimates, and the average absolute price change on all earnings report days going back to the second quarter of 2002.
COF, INTC, and MOT are three stocks that perform relatively poorly when they miss estimates. AMD, AAPL, COF and MOT are the most volatile stocks in the list, as they all average an absolute price change of more than 6% on the day of their earnings.
We also highlight any changes in earnings estimates that have taken place in the last four weeks. AMD and MOT have both recently seen rather large decreases in their quarterly EPS expectations while MER and IBM have both enjoyed increases.
