[cnxvideo id=”625473″ placement=”ros”]Earnings season for the second quarter of the calendar year is underway, and 24/7 Wall St. has put together a preview of some of the major Dow Jones Industrial Average companies scheduled to report their quarterly results this week. Overall, one-third of the Dow is reporting next week, and this has the potential to sustain the run that the Dow has made since the Brexit vote.

We 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.
