We've already had a quick look at some companies�reporting quarterly earnings�next week. But there are a lot of�FTSE 100�firms with first quarters ending in March, and a good number of them are due to report in the coming days. Here are three bringing us Q1 figures, all next Thursday:
Royal Dutch Shell
Valued at 140 billion pounds,�Royal Dutch Shell� (LSE: RDSB ) (NYSE: RDS-B ) �is the biggest company in the FTSE -- and�it might also be the cheapest. The Shell share price has gone nowhere over the past year, currently standing at 2,226 pence. And that is likely to be, in part at least, due to forecasts of falling earnings per share, or EPS, for this year, which follow on from a drop in reported earnings for 2012.
But those forecasts put the shares on a forward price to earnings, or P/E, �ratio of only a little over eight, which is way below the long-term FTSE average of around 14. And there are dividends too -- last year, Shell provided shareholders with a 5.1% yield, and with a rise expected this year, City analysts are predicting 5.4%.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Alex Planes]
This year has been one of big deals and big rumors for Embraer. Just a few days ago, the company announced a deal with American International Group's (NYSE: AIG ) airplane leasing subsidiary for at least 50 jets and potentially up to 100, beginning in 2018. It's a multibillion-dollar deal that could be worth more than Embraer's entire trailing-12-month revenue stream. Embraer also has a deal with Republic Airways (NASDAQ: RJET ) for at least 47 E-175 jets -- the first of which should be delivered around this time of year -- and potentially 47 more if the airline likes what it sees. Several major carriers are also looking to expand their fleet of regional jets, which is Embraer's specialty and thus also its great opportunity. SkyWest (NASDAQ: SKYW ) is also committed to buying 40 of the E-175s�and could buy up to 140. Between these three deals, Embraer's backlog should swell considerably.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Roberto Pedone]
One under-$10 nano-biopharmaceutical player that's starting to trend within range of triggering a big breakout trade is Nanoviricides (NNVC), which engages in the discovery, development and commercialization of anti-viral therapeutics primarily in the U.S. This stock has been ripping to the upside so far in 2013, with share up big by 198%.
If you take a look at the chart for Nanoviricides, you'll notice that this stock has recently formed a double bottom chart pattern at $4.55 to $4.52 a share. Following that bottom, shares of NNVC have now started to uptrend and move within range of triggering a big breakout trade. That trade will hit if NNVC manages to take out the upper-end of its recent sideways trading chart pattern, which has seen NNVC trend between $4.55 and $5.74 a share.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in NNVC if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at Friday's high of $4.94 a share to its 50-day moving average of $5.28 a share, and then once it takes out some more key overhead resistance levels at $5.72 to $5.74 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average volume of 234,994 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then NNVC will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $6.50 to its 52-week high at $7.59 a share.
Traders can look to buy NNVC off weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below some key near-term support levels at $4.55 to $4.52 a share. One can also buy NNVC off strength once it starts to clear those breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.
