Earnings season is winding down but there are still several hundred companies expected to report earnings this week. They include a lot of retailers but also dozens of small and mid-cap companies that just don’t get the love of the large caps.
But there will still be some large cap companies too, including large cap technology companies.
Perfect Earnings Records
It’s been tough on companies to beat on earnings every quarter during the pandemic. Many who had 5-year perfect records heading into 2020 lost their crowns when COVID upended the global economy.
But there have been a select few that have managed, against all odds, to hang onto perfection.
A few of them are reporting this week and they’re in technology.
Snowflake went public during the pandemic, promptly missed its first three quarters but then put together 2 big beats. It’s got a mini-streak going but it has a long way to go to prove itself as an earnings all-star.
Snowflake shares have fallen 22% year-to-date as the growth stocks have faced selling pressure.
It trades with a forward P/E of 4,575% as it’s expected to make just $0.06 in fiscal 2023.
Why feature it here? Because many investors are trading this stock.
Will another big beat turn Snowflake’s shares around?
Veeva Systems is a cloud-based software company in the life sciences industry.
Veeva Systems is one of the earnings all-stars. It has a perfect 5-year earnings surprise track record, even beating during the height of the pandemic.
But even with that record, shares are still down 30% over the last 6 months.
Veeva Systems still trades with a forward P/E of 56, so it’s not cheap.
Is the selling overdone on Veeva Systems in 2022 or does it have more to fall?
Kroger was a pandemic winner as consumers stayed home and cooked.
It has an excellent earnings surprise track record. Kroger has beat 8 quarters in a row, even during the pandemic, and has only missed 3 times in the last 5 years.
Kroger shares are up on the year, gaining about 6.8%.
In spite of being a pandemic winner, Kroger is still cheap with a forward P/E of 13.5. It also pays a dividend, currently yielding 1.8%.
Broadcom is another one of the rare companies that has a perfect 5-year earnings surprise track record. That’s impressive in a volatile industry like the semiconductors.
Broadcom has been one of the darlings of the Street during the pandemic with shares up 109% over the last 2 years.
However, in 2022, shares have tumbled 14%.
Broadcom trades with a forward P/E of just 17.7 and pays a juicy dividend yielding 2.8%.
