Today a steady intraday boost arrived for retailer KCP just before the company announced earnings.  Nice.

Then, they announced .17 EPS, 3 pennies above street estimates.  Nice, nice.

Then, they even mentioned a buyback of stock, which is a common way of inflating EPS, making it look attractive to other investos who might consider a buy.  Nice, nice, nice.

<> Then, just before folks got ready to advise their friends to buy more KCP, the company casually mentioned cutting their quarterly dividend in half.  I'm sorry, wrong answer, Mr Quiz Show.  That's when all the in<><><><><><><>< />< />< />< />...

The week in preview: Earnings season winds down

Filed under: Earnings reports, Forecasts, Economic data

<>While the release of economic data doesn't stop next week (see economic schedule highlights below), the earnings season does wind down dramatically. Most of the S&P 500 companies already have reported on the past quarter, which means dismal earnings news is largely behind us, at least for a while. About the only companies of note expected by analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters to report falling earnings this week are Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ: COST), Wendy's/Arby's Group Inc.

Filed under: Earnings reports, Forecasts, Wal-Mart (WMT), Kohl's Corp (KSS), Crocs Inc (CROX), Urban Outfitters (URBN)

<>This week, some apparel and accessory producers and retailers offer a look at how they've been doing between early summer's economic stimulus spending and the coming holiday season.
