The futures were down across the board Tuesday, as traders and investors return from the long three-day weekend. It is poised to be an action-packed, albeit short week as fourth-quarter earnings will be pouring in. While Friday’s bank earnings were a mixed bag, high-profile companies are expected to deliver some solid results over the next three weeks. Look for Netflix, Procter & Gamble, American Airlines and other blue-chip giants to deliver their latest results this week.

Many on Wall Street are continuing to focus on the big increases in energy and food costs and other spiraling inflation issues. While most strategists and economists are divided on when the current inflation surge will ease, the ongoing supply chain concerns and stagflation worries remain front and center and will until the price increases start to decline.

24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports each day of the week with a goal of finding fresh ideas for investors and traders alike. Some of these daily analyst calls cover stocks to buy. Other calls cover stocks to sell or avoid. Remember that no single analyst call should ever be used as a basis to buy or sell a stock. Consensus analyst target data is from Refinitiv.
