Earnings season continues its run in Kansas City this week, with headliners appearing daily.
This morning's marquee features third-quarter results for Waddell & Reed Financial Inc., which is expected to show profits equal to 33 cents a share, according to analysts' estimates collected by Thomson Reuters.

Cerner management will discuss the quarter and the outlook during a 3:30 p.m. conference call available at www.cerner.com or 617-213-8860.
Thursday brings a morning report from Sprint Nextel Corp., likely to be loss of 15 cents a share, according to analysts' estimates. Markets also will be attuned to Sprint's wireless subscriber totals during the first full quarter that the Palm Pre smartphone has been available.
