The first quarter earnings season for the S & P 500 is set to begin next week, with 121 companies, or approximately a quarter of the index, set to report their results. The two stocks also in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Walt Disney and McDonald's, are expected to be the main figures. So far, 84% of the 63% of S&P 500 members have topped analysts' earnings expectations, according to FactSet. Palantir Technologies is expected to more than double its earnings earnings from the previous year. Meanwhile, Advanced Micro Devices is set for a conference call after the market closes, followed by an expected double-digit growth in earnings. The Food and Drug Administration recently approved Veppanu, a breast cancer drug from Pfizer and Arvinas, and expects more clarity on pricing for the drug after a commercialization deal.
