News Breaks | | | | October 7, 2012 | | 20:32 EDT |  | USB, CSCO, WMT, CVS | Analysts's earnings estimates for 2013 are way too high, Barron's contends
Barron's expects Wall Street to lower its 2013 estimates in coming weeks -- as the earnings bar looks too high for many U.S. companies. The tighter earnings estimates are clustered, the more reliable they're likely to be. Barron's selected four stocks with reasonable valuations, estimates in a narrow range, looks reasonably priced based on earnings and pays a dividend -- Cisco (CSCO), CVS Caremark (CVS), U.S. Bancorp (USB) and Wal-Mart (WMT). Investors can get a sense of estimate dispersion by eyeballing the high and low forecasts. Barron's suggests that cautious investors should seek to avoid unwelcome surprises by swapping vulnerable shares for ones whose estimates look reliable. Reference Link | |

The S&P 500 was virtually unchanged at midday following a deluge of domestic economic data this morning. The S&P began the session in negative territory, but only moderately lower, after investors received a host of data prior to the open, including reports on jobless claims, consumer prices, and housing starts. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., initial jobless claims rose 32K to 360K last week, compared to expectations for them to remain relatively stable at 330K.

Wal-Mart, in contrast, lagged all Dow names, sliding 2% after its earnings for the just ended quarter and its view of the current quarter missed the consensus forecast... After the closing bell, Tesla Motors (TSLA) said it intends to raise about $830M by offering 2.7M common shares and $450M in convertible senior notes.
