There's never a dull week on Wall Street. Let's go over some of the news that will shape the week to come.
Monday
The trading week begins with WD-40 (Nasdaq: WDFC ) reporting its latest quarterly results on Monday.
Analysts see the company behind the namesake lubricant and other home and industrial essentials earning $0.61 a share, well ahead of the $0.47 it earned a year earlier.
Tuesday
The market is quiet ahead of earnings season, which kicks in the following week, but Tuesday won't be completely silent. VOXX (Nasdaq: VOXX ) is one of a handful of companies reporting this week. Wall Street's banking on the consumer-electronics company to crank out a profit of $0.10 a share.
Wednesday
Marriott (NYSE: MAR ) spun off its timeshare business late last year, so Wednesday's quarterly report can't be exactly compared with the quarter it posted a year ago, but the hospitality giant is expected to post a healthy quarterly profit.
Thursday
Resources Connection (Nasdaq: RECN ) steps up on Thursday. The professional-services firm provides business leaders with the tools to execute internal initiatives. Business services and consulting are often good gauges for corporate activity. In that case, it's probably a good thing that analysts see strong bottom-line growth here.
Friday
The final trading day of the week is usually quiet, and it won't be any different this time around. A few financial-services providers will be checking in, including Webster Bank parent company Webster Financial (NYSE: WBS ) .
Banking may not seem like a very compelling place to invest these days, but the pros see Webster posting healthy earnings growth.

When will Discovery Labs (DSCO) finally get some love? I mean they have 2 FDA approved products that go into distribution in the 4Q, with the FDA approval coming in March. They only have 43 million outstanding shares, with a current market cap of 125M which nearly multiplies with every 10 cent increase. They are going to distribute a drug for Respiratory Distress Syndrome for infants in the US and European markets, and they have TREMENDOUS upside, already up 60 percent on the year. Add to that two more drugs awaiting approval, Aeroserf, that is in a collaboration with Batelle to get streamlined and fine-tuned and Surfaxin LS, a liquid version of their already FDA-approved drug Surfaxin. How this stock stays in the 2 range is amazingly shortsighted.
Value of Surf LS + Afectair: 275million
Shares O/S: 43mil
Tell me why we can't see $40+/share with DSCO. Note that my sell target is below this, but I expect the stock to soar once it gains momentum. Imagine that liquid surfaxin penetrates the market quickly and gets great reviews by practicing docs (which it should). Surf LS will be even better. And Aerosurf even better after that.
Facts:
1. one approved device
2. one approved drug
3. $40 million in cash
4. no debts
5. no preferred stocks
6. no impending warrants (outside of the 5yr 5M at 2.80)
8. exclusive rights
9. excellent pipeline
10. Newly partnered (Batelle for R&D)
11. MAA approval soon
12. New device new drug launch soon
13. Mkt Cap 128 million ???
At 3 times sales, this is already $400 million firm, and that is $10 PPS. DSCO === Hidden Gem.
