Walmart, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Home Depot and More Major Earnings This Week

In the past week, markets have seemingly recovered after being largely driven lower as the result of a massive increase in volatility. All three major exchanges gained about 5% last week, after having lost roughly the same amount the week before. Even though volatility may be causing markets to shift much more than usual, solid fundamentals from company earnings can back these markets up. Although the busiest weeks of the earnings season have come and gone, there are still plenty more big names on deck this week.
