Richard, like most people, is understandably focused on what to expect from Delta Air Lines ( DAL), which will report at around the same time others may be paying attention to Infosys ( INFY) as an indicator for the health of tech.
That said, I do sometimes like to point out some less-hyped reports that interest me in that they can be indicative of economic conditions and market sentiment, and one such company, Fastenal ( FAST) will report on Thursday morning.ĭespite a nearly $32 billion market cap, it is likely that Fastenal’s results will slip under the radar a bit tomorrow. My background has trained me to react to news of any kind rather than to anticipate it, and anyway, advance analysis of what to expect from individual earnings reports is a specialty of my fellow contributor, Richard Saintvilus, who does an excellent job of doing just that. As a rule, I don’t do earnings forecasts or outlooks for individual companies.
