Next week's notable retail earnings reports

A few days ago I wrote an article about the companies that may benefit significantly from the holiday season this year. Three of those companies I mentioned in that list are releasing their earnings reports next week, market with an * below. Last trading week I picked JC Penney ($JCP), the first retail stock in my portfolio. I'm diversifying in that sector. If these earnings are positive it's a good indication that this holiday season will go very well for the companies mentioned below. If your trading strategy revolves around those reports; these are the companies you may want to keep your eye on next trading week:
