-- Of all the companies reporting on Monday, Herbalife Ltd. is expected to attract the most attention given the high-profile investors who have staked their money and reputations on its performance.
Herbalife HLF +0.84% is expected to report first-quarter earnings of $1.07 a share, according to a consensus survey by FactSet.
Herbalife has been at the center of a very acrimonious and personal fight between Carl Icahn and Bill Ackman. Icahn built up his stake in the company to over 15% after Ackman revealed his sizable short position in late 2012.
Newmont Mining NEM -2.51% is projected to report first-quarter earnings of 78 cents a share. Analysts at Deutsche Bank Securities expect Newmont’s earnings to drop 35% from a year earlier on “lower volumes, lower gold prices and higher cash costs.”

J&J Snack Foods Corp. JJSF -2.06% is likely to post second-quarter earnings of 63 cents a share.
