Top 8 Earnings in the Week Ahead

November 20, 2016 by Chris Lange

24/7 Wall St. has put together a preview of some of the major companies reporting their quarterly results in this shortened trading week. Thanksgiving is upon us and only a few companies are reporting this week, considering the markets are closed on Thursday and Black Friday is a day many take off.

Keep in mind that the U.S. presidential election has ended and President-Elect Trump is now nominating members of his team. This has pushed markets to new highs.

We have included the consensus earnings estimates from Thomson Reuters and the stock price and trading history, as well as added some additional color on each.
