Earnings reporting season is upon us, with a few of the major banks kicking it off last Friday. But with this season comes high expectations, as the Nasdaq and S&P 500 have risen recently to near all-time highs. This earnings season will be driven by some of the biggest companies in the United States, but they have to hit their targets first if the markets want to keep up their momentum.
