Important Stock Earnings Reports for Next Week

This week was dull in terms of economic data, but exciting in terms of earnings data. The economic data this week was not very good. Most of the trends that we hoped were emerging, after the data the last few weeks began showing a possible recovery in areas, such as first time unemployment claims, manufacturing index, etc, have taken a turn down again with this weeks data. Having said this, companies like Google, American Express, Apple, Intel, Black and Decker, JetBlue, and others surprised us with their much better then expected earnings for the 1st quarter of 2009. What is in store for next week? Well, there are still a lot of earnings reports coming, especially in Health care and Biotech. Then you have this laundry list of economic data releases throughout the week, which may shed further light on the general economy.
