Earnings season is heading into the spotlight. This week, over 400 companies are reporting including many in the S&P 500.

Tracey dug through all of the charts to find only the best.

Despite what you might think, it’s not easy for companies to beat every quarter or nearly every quarter. It’s only a select few who have this amazing track record.

But here are three large cap companies who have that great record and they’re looking to do it again this week.

1.    Abbott Labs (ABT Quick QuoteABT - Free Report) hasn’t missed in 5 years but shares still lag. The Street is ignoring it. Is this a hidden gem?

2.    Boeing (BA Quick QuoteBA - Free Report) has a great record with just 1 miss in in the last 5 years. Shares are breaking out to new 5-year highs. Can they hold onto the momentum?

3.    Citrix Systems has beat every quarter for 5 years but the shares were stuck doing the see-saw until 2016 when they finally broke out of the narrow range and surged to new highs. Is there a new story for this stock?

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