[cnxvideo id=”625493″ placement=”ros”]Although this earnings season has been relatively positive, the Dow has stepped away from its 20,000 mark, and it seems the animal spirits powering this rally might not be as positive as they once were. However, there are a few companies reporting on Thursday that could help boost the markets. 24/7 Wall St. has put together a list of these companies reporting their most recent quarterly results on Thursday.

We have included the consensus earnings estimates from Thomson Reuters and the stock price and trading history, as well as some additional color on each.

AstraZeneca PLC (NYSE: AZN) reports its most recent quarterly results before the markets open. The consensus estimates are calling for $0.59 in earnings per share (EPS) and $5.43 billion in revenue. The fourth-quarter of last year had EPS of $0.47 and $6.21 billion in revenue. Shares were last seen at $27.42, with a consensus analyst price target of $33.87 and a 52-week trading range of $25.55 to $35.04.
