Target, Costco and More Big Earnings Coming This Week

March 4, 2018 by Chris Lange

In the past week, markets took another plunge, partially as the result of a sharp increase in volatility. Perhaps the main driver last Thursday was the steel and aluminum tariffs that the president announced. All three major indices pulled back an average of 2% last week.

Even though markets may have taken a step back, solid fundamentals from company earnings can push these markets in the right direction. Although the busiest weeks of the earnings season have come and gone, there are still plenty more big names on deck this week.
