As earnings season continues, a big set of technology and energy companies are scheduled to report results. Additionally, several data reports, including the always important jobs numbers, are expected, along with an initial public offering from Zoetis Inc.

 
   Amazon, Facebook Among Batch of Tech Stocks Reporting 
 

A handful of big technology companies are expected to report earnings next week, with Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) scheduled for Tuesday and Facebook Inc. (FB) for Wednesday.

Amazon's shares took a hit three months ago after the Internet retail giant posted its first quarterly loss in nearly a decade, as its aggressive and expensive expansion plans kept weighing down results. Revenue should continue rising, but the bottom line is expected to be weak again.

Meanwhile, Facebook's stock has been gaining ground since November amid some encouraging data on its progress to make money from its mobile phone app. Still, the social site's stock remains below its May initial public offering price of $38 a share. Growth in mobile is sure to take center stage again for the upcoming quarterly release.

Other tech companies weighing in next week are Yahoo Inc. (YHOO), Seagate Technology Inc. (STX), Broadcom Corp. (BRCM), Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM) and EMC Corp. (EMC).

 
   Energy Companies to Release Results 
 

Several major coal, oil and gas companies are slated to report quarterly results, with Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) rounding out the week with its report on Friday.

While the entire oil industry has suffered from unstable prices for crude and natural gas in recent quarters, Exxon's production woes underscore how challenging it is for the biggest oil companies to grow production in a meaningful way despite massive investments. The Texas oil giant's profit in the third quarter declined as its production slid to the lowest level in three years. Earnings are expected to improve this time around.

Additionally, ConocoPhillips (COP), Marathon Petroleum Corp. (MPC), Murphy Oil Corp. (MUR), Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY), National Oilwell Varco Inc. (NOV), Hess Corp. (HES), Peabody Energy Corp. (BTU) and Consol Energy Inc. (CNX) will be reporting.

 
   Earnings Grab Bag 
 

More major names will be reporting throughout a busy week for equities. They include Boeing Co. (BA), Ford Motor Co. (F), United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS), Caterpillar Inc. (CAT), Aetna Inc. (AET), Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. (NDAQ), and Pfizer Inc. (PFE).

 
   K-V Pharmaceutical Bankruptcy Proceedings to Continue 
 

On Wednesday, K-V Pharmaceutical Co. (KVPBQ, KVPHQ) will go before the court to seek an extension of the time in which it alone may file and drum up support for its bankruptcy-exit plan.

K-V recently filed such a plan, which proposes that the company reorganize around its flagship drug Makena, but a lot of work remains. It still has to reach out to creditors, win court approval of a plan outline, collect creditors' votes on the plan and put the plan itself up for court approval.

If its exclusive plan-filing rights are allowed to expire Feb. 4, K-V would be exposed to the possibility that its creditors could take matters into their own hands.

 
   Heavy Week for Data 
 

The employment report, always in the spotlight, will have to share some of the financial markets' attention next week. The packed calendar has important reports scheduled every day of the week.

According to a survey of economists compiled by Dow Jones Newswires, the numbers should show that business activity in January wasn't much different than the pace seen in December, and the jobless rate is forecast to remain at 7.8%.

Also on Friday will be the factory survey done by the Institute for Supply Management. The median forecast calls for the purchasing managers' index to come in 51.0 in January, little changed from 50.7 in December and indicating a factory sector stuck in neutral.

The first look at fourth-quarter gross domestic product will be reported Wednesday, and it's expected to look quite weak.

 
   Zoetis Among Next Week's IPOs 
 

Zoetis Inc., the animal-health unit separating from Pfizer Inc. (PFE), is expected to launch its initial public offering, setting up a deal that could be worth as much as $2.2 billion.

Zoetis, which will trade under the symbol ZTS, makes vaccines and drugs for pets, cattle and other farm animals. Among its products are antibiotics treating pneumonia in cattle and vaccines against the E. coli bacteria in chickens. It also sells a Lyme disease vaccine for dogs.

The IPO filing is part of Pfizer's plan to shed certain businesses and focus on human pharmaceuticals, partially unwinding years of megamergers that made Pfizer the largest drug maker in the world by sales.

Other expected IPOs are homebuilder TRI Pointe Homes Inc. and biopharmaceutical firm KaloBios Pharmaceuticals Inc., according to IPO Boutique.
