This Week's Best Earnings Charts

Read MoreHide Full Article

With hundreds of companies reporting earnings this week, it may be hard to distinguish those companies that have the best earnings surprise track records from those that don’t.

 

For companies reporting on Thursday, Oct 27, these three companies have the best track records.

 

It doesn’t hurt that shares are also near 5-year highs.

 

Will they keep their earnings streaks going?

1.    Colgate-Palmolive (CL - Free Report) has missed one time in the last 5 years but that’s still an impressive beat record.

2.    Raytheon has beat 8 quarters in a row and has just 1 miss in the last 5 years. The defense companies have been strong this earnings season.

3.    Dr. Pepper Snapple has two misses, so what makes it one of the best charts? They were all the way back in 2012 and 2013. It has beat 14 quarters since those misses.  

All three of these companies should be on your short list if you’re trading the earnings report.

What else should you know about these earnings charts? Tune into the short video to find out.
