Financial services firm State Street Corporation (STT) is slated to take its turn in the earnings spotlight tomorrow morning. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters are expecting STT to report a second-quarter profit of 93 cents per share, down from $1.04 per share in the year-ago period. The company has a formidable history on the earnings front, having exceeded analysts' per-share profit expectations in each of the past four reporting periods.However, options players are bracing for a potential post-earnings pullback. During the past 10 days, speculators on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) and the International Securities Exchange (ISE) have bought to open 1.32 puts for every call on STT. This ratio ranks in the 81st percentile, indicating that traders are purchasing bearish bets over their bullish counterparts at a faster pace than usual.
