The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 have hit consecutive all-time highs over the course of the last week. Some analysts are worried that the markets may have gone too high too fast, while others are buying in. But what is for sure is that these consecutive wins have not been seen since the 1990s. Earnings season has just kicked off, when most major companies will report and set a direction for the market, and with the markets at all-time highs these reports are especially important.
24/7 Wall St. has put together a preview of some of the major companies reporting their quarterly results this week. We are just entering into earnings season, in which most major companies will report and set a direction for the market. 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.
