This week we are discussing the recent earnings announcements of Walgreens ($WBA) and Johnson & Johnson ($JNJ). We are both very excited that earnings season has really started now.
There are many great Dividend Aristocrats and European Noble 30 members reporting earnings in the upcoming week. Actually, we declared next week 22 October as #DividendDay.
Several great companies are reporting their earnings on that day: Unilever ($UL $UNA) Hermes International ($RMS), L’Oreal ($OR), AT&T ($T), Coca-Cola ($KO), Intel Corp. ($INTC), Kimberly-Clark ($KMB).
Just join us Thursday 22 October at 10.30 CET or 9.30 GMT and let’s share our thoughts on those earnings reports. Send EMF or European DGI a message on Twitter or via their blogs and we’ll make sure that you’ll get included.
