Nine of the 30 Dow Jones industrial average components are scheduled to report their latest quarterly reports this week. Some are saying that this earnings season may not matter, considering the damage that the coronavirus outbreak has brought on the markets. However, these fundamentals will be important in terms of understanding the severity of the damage and what it could mean for the economy as a whole.

Former Fed Chair Janet Yellen has suggested that gross domestic product could pull back by 30% this quarter. With about a third of the Dow reporting, we may see if this estimate holds true.

24/7 Wall St. has put together a preview of those Dow companies scheduled to report their quarterly results this week. We have included the consensus earnings estimates, as well as the stock price and trading history.
