Among S&P 500 companies, 114 are expected to report quarterly earnings this week, including International Business Machines IBM.N, Tesla TSLA.O and Coca-Cola KO.N. Results from Texas Instruments TXN.O will turn the spotlight on thechip sector.
As of last close, 83.1% of the S&P companies that have reported so far have beaten earnings estimatesversus the 79.1% average of the previous four quarters, according to LSEG data.
A fairly solid start to this earningsseason, upbeat economic data and continued optimism around Federal Reserve rate cuts have helped indexes rally higher, with the S&P 500 inching closer to crossing the 6,000-mark milestone for the first time.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI and the benchmark index .SPX notched up record closing highs on Friday. Both indexes, along with the Nasdaq, logged a sixth consecutive week of gains in their best winning streak so far this year.
However,risks such as rising geopolitical tensions inthe Middle East, gains in Treasury yields and some volatility ahead of theupcoming U.S. presidential election are pressuring equities.
"Stock markets continue to withstand geopolitical turmoil and uncertainty about the US election... the election is getting closer and the uncertainty will in all likelihood remain at least until election night," analysts at SEB said in a note.
