Oracle, Nike, Walgreens and More Major Companies Reporting This Week

December 16, 2018 by Chris Lange

This past week was relatively flat for the U.S. broad markets, still better than the first week of December, which saw a 4% loss in both the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones industrial average. With December now in full swing, the number of major companies reporting tends to slow down as Christmas gets closer.
