The Trump rally has helped push the broad markets to new highs, and with earnings season just around the corner we can find out if this rally is fundamentally sound. But in the meantime there are a few other major companies reporting that might give us an idea of what to expect from their counterparts that report later this month and in February.
24/7 Wall St. has put together a peek of few companies that have just reported their most recent earnings. We have included the consensus estimates from Thomson Reuters as well as a recent trading history and consensus price target.
