[cnxvideo id=”507122″ placement=”ros”]24/7 Wall St. has put together a preview of some of the major companies scheduled to share their quarterly results in the coming days, as 2016 begins to wind to a close. Markets have been pushed to record highs, and the Federal Reserve has raised rates for the first time in a year. Although the third-quarter earnings reporting season is over and the new earnings season does not begin until next month, there are a few off-season reports expected this week.

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. Keep in mind that the earnings and revenue estimates may change ahead of the formal reports, and some companies may reschedule reporting dates as well.

BlackBerry Ltd. (NASDAQ: BBRY) is set to report its most recent results on Tuesday morning. The analysts’ consensus estimates call for a net loss of $0.01 per share and $331.92 million in revenue for the fiscal third quarter. Shares were changing hands at $7.58 on Friday’s close. The consensus price target is $7.74, and the 52-week trading range is $6.23 to $9.46.

Nike Inc. (NYSE: NKE) is expected to reveal its fiscal second-quarter results after the closing bell on Tuesday. The consensus estimates are $0.43 in earnings per share (EPS) and $8.10 billion in revenue. Shares closed at $50.92 on Friday. The consensus price target is $62.35.
