The second week of 2018 is in the books, and markets are continuing to rise. All three major exchanges reached new milestones and all-time highs this past week, setting the stage for what could be an explosive earnings season. Banks generally kick off earnings season and JPMorgan and Wells Fargo have already released their reports. Now a few additional big banks and some others will report this week. Keep in mind that there are four Dow stocks reporting results this week as well.
24/7 Wall St. has put together a preview of some of the top companies reporting their latest results in the coming week. We have included the consensus earnings estimates from Thomson Reuters, as well as the stock price and trading history for these companies ahead of the report.
It’s worth pointing out that estimates or dates may change ahead of the report.
