The broad markets pulled back from their all-time highs to close out the past week, but this could present a nice buying opportunity ahead of the third-quarter earnings reporting season. 24/7 Wall St. has put together a preview of some of the major companies posting their quarterly results this week.

We are just entering into earnings season, in which most major companies will report and set a direction for the market. We have included the consensus earnings estimates from Thomson Reuters and the stock price and trading history.

The main companies reporting this week are banks, which always kick off the earnings season. Although only a few major banks are reporting on this shortened trading week, the rest will be coming very shortly.

Be advised that the earnings and revenue estimates may change ahead of the formal reports, and some companies may change reporting dates as well.
