Investors looking for good earnings reports are in luck. The following are two
companies that I feel will release strong, estimate-beating results in the
coming week: Acme Packet Inc. (NASDAQ: APKT ), based in Burlington, Mass., is a
high-tech company that makes communications equipment that helps Internet-based
networks communicate with each other better. It has a suite of products, called
session board controllers, which are used to connect networks operated by
Internet Service Providers as well as business clients. The company reports its
latest round of earnings on Thursday, Oct. 20. For its upcoming report, Acme is
expected to post earnings of $0.22 per share on revenues of $70.97 million.
Thats over 10% earnings growth and 25% sales growth. Even better, APKT is
expected to grow 43.7% by the end of year. That tells us that theres still a lot
of upward movement left to see in this stock. Tempur-Pedic International Inc.
(NYSE: TPX ) is the worldwide leader in specialty sleep and the fastest-growing
segment of the estimated $13 billion global mattress market. Its mattresses are
consistently ranked as Consumers Digest Best Buys, and they have won the coveted
Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. In addition, Tempur-Pedic mattresses are the
only ones to have earned the Arthritis Foundations Ease-of-Use Commendation.
Rest assured, with this investment you can rest easy. The upcoming earnings
numbers are looking quite strong for the company. Analysts are predicting over
37% growth in the quarter, along with 10.7% sales growth. Thats incredible,
especially considering the analyst community is expecting a 36% drop in growth
for the industry for the quarter. TPX also reports earnings on Thursday, Oct.
20. Now lets look at a few companies whose earnings arent expected to fare too
well:
