Facebook, Amazon, Alphabet and More Top Earnings to Watch For This Week

April 22, 2018 by Chris Lange

The U.S. broad markets pushed forward this past week, marking the second consecutive week with a gain. Not to say that this has been entirely the result of earnings, but it’s been a big help, along with a strong push in crude oil as well. If we continue to see solid fundamentals from company earnings, markets should continue to rise. This is perhaps one of the busiest weeks for earnings of the year with a lot of big names coming quick.

24/7 Wall St. has put together a preview of some of the top companies reporting their latest results in the coming week. We have included the consensus earnings estimates from Thomson Reuters, as well as the stock price and trading history for these companies ahead of the report.
