What happened

Earnings next week from companies such as Lam Research and ServiceNow could exceed Wall Street's consensus estimates and push their stocks higher, if history is any guide.

Why it matters

The first-quarter earnings season ramps up next week, with 83 companies in the S & P 500 — or nearly 17% of the index — and seven of the stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average scheduled to report their latest results.

Common ground

The week is headlined by Tesla , and will also be marked by large industrial, defense and transportation companies.

Perspective signals
