Last week, we got a dose of reality that the U.S. economy still has a rough, rocky road toward recovery. Alcoa (AA) and JP Morgan (JPM) disappointed investors and traders on Wall Street, while Intel (INTC) illustrated once again how innovation and technology will play a major role in a sustainable recovery.
I decided to dig up last year’s earnings results for a select group of companies reporting their earnings this week. This will give you a comparable to see whether companies are still worsening, muddling, or improving year-over-year.
Here are 18 companies to watch that will see active trading volume during the upcoming week:
