Amazon, Microsoft On Deck
Published by: mike 2008-08-22

Amazon.com and Microsoft will be the biggest names reporting first-quarter earnings this week.

Amazon will be reporting its quarterly results after the close on Tuesday, and investors are hoping for better than last quarter, when the online retailer missed earnings estimates by a wide margin.

Analysts are expecting earnings of 23 cents a share from Amazon, and revenues are expected to grow 24% to $1.9 billion. Solid enough numbers if Amazon can deliver, but will the company's decelerating growth be enough to keep investors happy?

On Thursday, Microsoft will post its quarterly numbers after the bell. Analysts are expecting earnings of 32 cents a share on revenues of $9.83 billion, up 7.1% from the year-ago quarter, and there's no reason to expect a miss from technology's steadiest name. The question will be whether the software giant's numbers are enough to propel its stock higher. Microsoft's stock has slid 10% since December, but on the plus side, it bottomed last month before the rest of the market, an encouraging sign of strength.
