Earnings Preview: Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO), Sprint Corporation (S), Applied Materials Inc (AMAT), CVS Caremark Corporation (CVS), PepsiCo Inc (PEP)

More earnings announcements will hit the tape next week.

Of the 296 companies in the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) that have reported fourth-quarter 2013 operating EPS, 198 have topped analysts’ estimates and 63 have missed, according to S&P Capital IQ. This has resulted in a beat rate of 67 percent.

Wall Street analysts expect earnings for the S&P 500 to increase 7.5 percent year-over-year, versus the initial estimate of 5.7 percent. “The optimism generated by fourth-quarter results that look as if they will exceed initial estimates by nearly two percentage points is offset, however, by the erosion seen in 2014 estimates,” Sam Stovall, S&P Capital IQ's chief equity strategist, said in a Feb. 5 note.

Capital IQ consensus now estimates project an 8.5 percent increase in full-year results, versus the more than 10 percent increase projected initially.
