Tesla, Netflix earnings, GameStop stock split, existing home sales top week ahead

Investors are in for a slew of major corporate earnings this week along with fresh housing and manufacturing data. 

A better-than-expected retail sales report helped power stocks to gains on Friday with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising 2.1%, while the S&P added 1.9% and Nasdaq Composite jumped 1.8%. Despite the rally, all three of the benchmarks fell for the week after consumer and producer prices climbed to fresh highs.
