The coming week will be another big one as investors prepare for a few major quarterly earnings reports.

The main focus will be between Wednesday’s close and Thursday’s open as some of the biggest companies in the world are scheduled to report.

On Wednesday, Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) will report after the market closes. The company reported earnings of $1.40 per share on sales of $35 billion in the first quarter of 2020. Both beat Wall Street expectations.

The other big name to watch on Wednesday after the market closes is Tesla Inc. (Nasdaq: TSLA). The electric carmaker’s shares have more than quadrupled in 2020. Analysts are expecting a quarterly loss, but investors are holding out hope Tesla will surprise with a profit.

American Airlines Group Inc. (Nasdaq: AAL) and Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE: LUV) both report earnings on Thursday before the opening bell. Airlines have been hit particularly hard as travel has plummeted due to the coronavirus.

Last week, Delta Air Lines Co. (NYSE: DAL) posted a massive Q2 loss.

Telecommunications giant AT&T (NYSE: T) also reports its quarterly earnings Thursday before the market opens.

In the first quarter, the company reported earnings of $0.84 per share — a $0.02 drop per share from the same quarter a year ago.

Analysts estimate earnings per share for AT&T to be around $0.80 per share on $40.8 billion in revenue.
