As the earnings season has just kicked off, we are now hailing some of the first reporters, which are the major banks. Quarterly performance is just one issue, and investors might want to pay more attention to what the banks have to say about the looming Federal Reserve rate hikes. So far JPMorgan, Wells Fargo and Citigroup have already reported and set an optimistic tone for these stocks.

24/7 Wall St. has put together a preview of some of the major financial companies reporting their quarterly results this week. We have included the consensus earnings estimates from Thomson Reuters and the stock price and trading history, as well as added some additional color on each.
