Earnings season picks up another notch this week as over 500 companies are set to report including many S&P 500 companies.

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.

And some of your favorites are leading off the week. Are you ready?

These four companies know how to do it:

1.    Mastercard (MA Quick QuoteMA - Free Report) has missed just once in the last 5 years. Look at that chart! It’s a thing of beauty.

2.    Thermo Fisher (TMO Quick QuoteTMO - Free Report) has a perfect 5-year track record of beating. Will it keep its streak alive?

3.    Under Armour (UAA Quick QuoteUAA - Free Report) hasn’t missed in 5 years but investors have fled anyway. Could this be a buying opportunity?

4.    Chubb (CB Quick QuoteCB - Free Report) might not be on everyone’s radar during earnings season but shares look like they might break out again. Not too shabby for an insurer.
