[cnxvideo id=”655402″ placement=”ros”]The Trump rally has helped push the broad markets to new highs but now they have been backing, off with the S&P 500 falling for its fourth day in a row. Though earnings season is slowing down, there are still a few companies left in the mix that could put the wind back in the market’s sails.

24/7 Wall St. has put together a list of companies that are reporting their most recent quarterly results on Wednesday.

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.

Anthem Inc. (NYSE: ANTM) reports its most recent quarterly results before the markets open. The consensus estimates are calling for $1.61 in earnings per share (EPS) and $20.92 billion in revenue. The fourth-quarter of last year reportedly had EPS of $1.14 and $20.02 billion in revenue. Shares were last seen at $152.95, with a consensus analyst price target of $162.18 and a 52-week trading range of $114.85 to $154.90.
