Markets are near all-time highs as we enter 2017. The Trump rally, as many are calling it, helped push the markets to these highs but it still has to be seen if this rally is fundamentally sound. Perhaps the best litmus test for these fundamentals is looking at earnings.
24/7 Wall St. has put together a list of few companies that are reporting this week. We have included the consensus estimates from Thomson Reuters as well as a recent trading history and consensus price target.
Looking ahead at a different set of fundamentals, a few other biotech and pharma companies are expecting decisions from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in both January and February. These FDA decisions have the potential to push these stocks massively.
Sonic Corp. (NASDAQ: SONC) is scheduled to release its fiscal first-quarter financial results after the markets close on Wednesday.
