Most of the Dow Jones industrial index components have reported their latest quarterly reports, and overall the results have been solid. Yet the index is marginally lower than it was two weeks ago.

This week, five of the 30 Dow components are expected to share their results this week. The Dow has been subject to increased volatility since January, and some investors may have looked to the current earnings season to stabilize the index.

24/7 Wall St. has put together a preview of those Dow 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.

Also see our separate preview of some of the week’s other most anticipated earnings reports, including Alibaba, CVS and Tesla.
