[cnxvideo id=”625479″ placement=”ros”]The fourth-quarter earnings reporting season is underway, and most of the major banks, most recently Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, have already reported. Although these earnings have been relatively positive, the Dow has stepped away from its 20,000 mark, and it seems the animal spirits powering this rally might not be as positive as they once were.
24/7 Wall St has also put together a preview of Dow companies reporting results this week. Overall, one-sixth of the Dow is reporting, but this has not been enough to sustain the run that the Dow has made since the Trump rally.
In the meantime, a couple of other companies are about to report that could have a tremendous impact on the market. While they are not Dow components, these two companies are still widely followed by investors.
We have included the consensus earnings estimates from Thomson Reuters, as well as the stock price and trading history.
Keep in mind that the earnings and revenue estimates may change ahead of the formal reports, and some companies may reschedule reporting dates as well.
