Earnings Reports to Watch This Week: DAL, YUM, CSX
Read MoreHide Full Article
Earnings season kicks off with Alcoa (AA) after the bell today, but most investors are likely focused on some bigger companies which give their reports later in the week. Of this group, three stand out as sector bellwethers, and ones to watch for investors in what could be another tricky earnings season.
First up is Delta Airlines (DAL - Free Report) , which currently has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). The stock does at least have a VGM score of ‘B’ including Value and Growth scores of ‘B’, so it isn’t all bad news for DAL these days. Still, concerns over growth, terrorism, and Zika, are likely to weigh on this stock and others in the industry, so look for DAL to set the tone when they report.
Next we have Yum Brands (YUM - Free Report) the company behind Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and KFC. Shares of YUM were under pressure thanks to concerns over their China division, but that has started to come back a bit in recent trading. Analysts have cut their estimates a bit in recent weeks though, pushing the stock to a negative earnings ESP, while shares have a Zacks Rank #3 (hold). The outlook and China division spin-off news appear likely to dominate here.
Finally, we have CSX (CSX - Free Report) , one of the largest railroad operators in the country. This could be an interesting one given the rocky road that rails have seen lately, though they have at least bottomed out in recent trading. And while things might not exactly be great in the industry right now, we should note that CSX does have a great track record in earnings season and it hasn’t missed estimates since early 2014.
For more information on these companies and how we expect them to do this earnings season, make sure to watch our short video. And for an in-depth guide on what to look for when trading ahead of earnings reports, listen to our podcast below:
