Over the past week the Dow hit an all-time high on the back of this earnings season, and the S&P 500 was within a few points of its record. However, one industry in particular has been holding back this rally. Retail stocks have lagged the market in 2017 thus far. We are reaching the point in the earnings season when most big retail companies will report, and this has the potential to right some of the losses this year.

24/7 Wall St. has reviewed some of the key retailers reporting this coming week. We have included the consensus earnings estimates from Thomson Reuters and the stock price and trading history, as well as some additional color on each.

Also see our separate preview of Disney, Snap and other upcoming and highly anticipated earnings reports.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
