What to Look for This Week

We have two Buy List stocks reporting earnings this week. FactSet (FDS) reports tomorrow. The company already gave guidance for revenues ($106 to $109 million) and operating margins (31.5% to 33.5%), but not EPS. Fortunately, I own a calculator so I’m expecting EPS of 47 cents a share. Maybe 48.
I should add that FDS is by far the most expensive stock on the Buy List. Ultimately, I decided to keep it on the 2007 Buy List. Its business is strong and I think it deserves to be richly priced.
Bed Beth & Beyond (BBBY) is set to report on Wednesday. BBBY has been one of my favorite stocks. Wall Street is expecting 52 cents a share, but I think BBBY can top that. This can easily be a $45 – $50 stock.
