Markets pushed higher on Tuesday after a poor showing to start out the week. As it stands, 69 companies within the S&P 500 are reporting quarterly results this week. Such big names as American Express, Netflix and Tesla should make a splash.

So far, this earnings season has not been half bad. As of Monday, 53% of the S&P 500 companies that have reported have beaten analyst estimates on both the top and bottom lines. It is yet to be seen how the rest of the earnings season will turn out, but for now investors appear optimistic.

24/7 Wall St. is reviewing additional analyst calls seen on Tuesday. We have included the latest call on each stock, as well as a recent trading history and the consensus targets among analysts. Note that analyst calls seen earlier in the day were on Apple, Electronic Arts, Goldman Sachs, Netflix, Wells Fargo and many more.
