A number of retailers will report earnings next week, while retail sales data is due on Friday
While last week's earnings calendar was headlined by blue chips
Procter & Gamble Co (NYSE:PG) and Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE), this week's action brings biotechs and retailers into focus. On the biotech side, embattled drugmaker
Valeant Pharmaceuticals Intl Inc (NYSE:VRX) will join a number of its sector peers when it unveils its highly anticipated report on Wednesday. Meanwhile,
Fossil Group Inc (FOSL) and
Michael Kors Holdings Ltd (NYSE:KORS) are among many names hoping to avoid the same post-earnings fate as
Kate Spade & Co (NYSE:KATE). Retail stocks will remain in the spotlight through week's end, when retail sales close out a relatively light week of economic data.
