4 Discount Retailers Reporting Earnings This Week

Earnings season is coming to a close, and among the last few companies left to report are four discount retailers.

Investor expectations could be on the high end following positive results from retailers known for offering low prices versus their peers. For instance, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE: WMT) reported its second-quarter results above Wall Street's expectations, and the company also boosted its full-year earnings per share outlook.

Similarly, the off-price retailer Ross Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROST) reported a top- and bottom-line beat in its second-quarter earnings release last week.

Burlington Stores Inc (NYSE: BURL) (August 25) last reported its first quarter results on May 26. The company earned $0.57 per share on revenue of $1.3 billion — good for a nine-cent beat on the earnings line and a $30 million revenue beat.
