Activist May Dine on Bob Evans, Alcoa Earnings, Cramer on Facebook
Second-quarter earnings are on the way, and they could set the tone for the rest of summer.
The U.S. economy's big test kicks off for the market today after the bell: Second-quarter earnings are on the way, and they could set the tone for the rest of summer. Bob Evans finds itself in need of a win when it announces its quarterly numbers; the company had to surrender a pair of board seats to activist Sandell Asset Management and could face a shake-up after already missing estimates two quarters in a row. Elsewhere, Alcoa looks to keep playing its hot hand in the steel game. And Jim Cramer is looking at Facebook's advertising successes, saying the company could still post double-digit percentage gains.
