Another chunk of companies are set to report this week, and analysts think earnings are on their side. CNBC Pro screened for the S & P 500 companies reporting this week that analysts are most excited about, leading them to lift their earnings estimates. Earnings per share estimates are also up 18.1% and 29.6% in the past three and six months, respectively. First Solar has the highest changes in analysts' earnings per share estimates, up 90% and 115.1% in the past three and six months, respectively. Shares have slid about 9% this year, with losses accelerating this month after peer solar company SolarEdge cut its third-quarter guidance on slowing demand in Europe.
