Stocks posted one of their best weeks in decades as investors started to look past the COVID-19 outbreak toward the eventual restarting of major economies around the world. Both the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) and the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) gained more than 10% in just four trading days. The indexes remain down for the year, but losses have been quickly cut in half.
The path of the coronavirus and the timing of the lifting of stay-at-home recommendations will likely drive broader markets for the time being. Meanwhile, a few individual stocks are set to announce highly anticipated earnings reports. Below, we'll look at a few metrics to watch from Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ: BBBY), and Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD) this week.
