24/7 Wall St. has put together a preview of the Dow Jones Industrial Average companies scheduled to report their quarterly results this week. Overall nine companies in the Dow are reporting this coming week, after nine reported last week. Although the Dow has backed off its highs, the index has more or less been trading sideways for the past week. But a strong earnings showing from these companies could the push the index higher again.

We have included the consensus earnings estimates from Thomson Reuters, as well as the stock price and trading history.

Be advised that the earnings and revenue estimates may change ahead of the formal reports, and some companies may change reporting dates as well.
