Last Updated:
The biggest companies posting quarterly results this week are banks, which always kick off the new earnings season. Although only three major banks are reporting at the end of this week, the rest will be coming very shortly. This earnings season will most certainly play into the recent market volatility by injecting some fundamentals. Now, whether earnings will be solid is yet to be seen.
We are just entering into earnings season, in which most major companies will report and set a direction for the market. Here, 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.
Be advised that the earnings and revenue estimates may change ahead of the formal reports, and some companies may change reporting dates as well.
