Staples warns: cbs.marketwatch.com For the second quarter, the company expects to report earnings of 8 cents to 10 cents a share and doesn't expect to register revenue growth. Currently, analysts are expecting a profit of 10 cents and year-over-year growth of 12 percent, respectively. As for the remainder of the year, the company said it's "cautiously optimistic."

Separately, Staples said it now plans to add 100 stores for the year, down from previous plans for opening 110 stores.
