[cnxvideo id=”655414″ placement=”ros”]24/7 Wall St. has put together a preview of a few major companies scheduled to report their quarterly results on Wednesday. The broad markets have been pushing closer to their all-time highs on the back of this earnings season. In fact the Nasdaq has made new highs in eight consecutive trading sessions. Not to mention the Dow is holding just under the 21,000 mark.

If we see a strong earnings showing from these companies, the markets could reach even higher.

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

Square Inc.’s (NYSE: SQ) latest quarterly earnings report is expected Wednesday afternoon. The consensus estimates are a net loss of $0.08 per share and $450.67 million in revenue. Shares were recently trading at $18.69, in a 52-week range of $8.42 to $19.03. The consensus price target is $17.96.
