Cameron International Corporation (CAM) is expected to release its third quarter results before the market opens on November 3. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for this stock is 53 cents per share. In the prior-year period, the company had reported earnings of 73 cents per share.  The Houston-based oilfield service firm reported earnings of 60 cents per share in the second quarter of 2009.
