Here are some of the tickers on my radar for Thursday, Aug. 17, taken directly from my reporter's notebook:
- Tapestry (TPR) quarterly earnings-per-share (EPS): 95 cents versus 97 cents expected. Revenue $1.62 billion versus $1.65 billion expected. The Coach and Kate Spade company needs that $8.5 billion deal with Capri (CPRI), which has Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors brands.
- Citi raises Nordstrom (JWN) price target to $20 per share from $17. Unusual.
- Lots of split opinions on Brinker (EAT), the Chili's and Maggiano's company. I can't tell whether it was all that good or all that bad.
- Multiple price target cuts on Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com (JD). Just a weak quarter.
