In what overall will be a very quiet week on the earnings front, the latest quarterly results from The Kroger Co (NYSE: KR), the largest U.S. supermarket operator, and from Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE: RAD), the third largest drugstore chain in the country, will be among the scant highlights.
Wall Street analysts forecast growing top- and bottom-line numbers from both of them, but the increase in revenue is expected to be particularly sharp at Rite Aid, which will become the world's largest retail pharmacy chain by locations if its buyout by Walgreens is approved by regulators. That deal appeared to become more likely this past week.
Below is a quick look at what analysts expect from these two reports, followed by a glance at some of the other most anticipated earnings results scheduled for this week.
