Although markets were somewhat shaky for the first big week of the new earnings reporting season, they ultimately closed up for the second week in a row. This is only a small step, but it has proven that solid fundamentals can stabilize this market.

Ten of the index’s 30 components are expected to share their results this week. The Dow Jones industrial index has been subject to incredible volatility since January, but as we mentioned before, this earnings season could stabilize the index.

24/7 Wall St. has put together a preview of the Dow Jones industrial average companies scheduled to report their quarterly results this week. Here, we have included the consensus earnings estimates from Thomson Reuters, as well as the stock price and trading history.
