NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- U.S. stock futures moved higher Monday, ahead of another batch of corporate earnings.
A busy week of corporate earnings kicks off Monday with results due from equipment manufacturer Caterpillar (CAT, Fortune 500), considered a bellwether for the global economy.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expect Caterpillar to post earnings of $2.22 a share on $16.8 billion in revenue.
Yahoo (YHOO, Fortune 500), with new CEO Marissa Mayer at the helm, reports after the bell. Yahoo is expected to post earnings of 26 cents a share on $1.08 billion in revenue.
Fellow tech heavyweights Facebook (FB) and Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) are up later in the week, as are AT&T (T, Fortune 500) and Boeing (BA, Fortune 500).
U.S. stocks fell Friday, the worst day on Wall Street since June, following a slew of weak earnings reports.
Analysts at S&P Capital IQ predict third-quarter earnings for companies in the S&P 500 will grow by just 0.04% overall this quarter, the worst since the third quarter of 2009.
