Earnings season really starts heating up this week with the first of the “FANG” stocks to report, plenty of Dow Industrial components, and a lot of banks.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of companies reporting, but never fear. Tracey has gone through the charts and picked out only the best so you don’t have to.
Despite the common wisdom that companies can “massage” the number and beat the analysts’ estimate whenever they like, it’s not easy to beat the consensus every quarter for years. Business conditions, and the economy, will likely change during that time period.
But there are a select few who manage to do it, or get darn close to doing it.
These 5 companies have been around for decades, so they are “old-school” type companies.
Does experience play a part in beating quarter after quarter?
5 Amazing Earnings Charts for This Week
1. CSX (CSX - Free Report) has missed just one time in the last 5 years. Shares soared after the election. Will volumes see improvement?
2. Steel Dynamics (STLD - Free Report) has missed just once in the last 5 years, back in early 2014. Steel is back on investors’ radars as China appears to be recovering from its recent economic downturn.
3. PPG Industries (PPG - Free Report) only has one miss in the last 5 years as well. But shares, which had been on a tear after the Great Recession, have traded in a narrow range the last 2 years. What will cause them to break out again?
4. Citizens Financial Group (CFG - Free Report) hasn’t missed since its 2014 IPO. Shares of this Rhode Island bank soared on Trump hopes after the election.
5. Snap-On (SNA - Free Report) has a perfect earnings track record over the last 5 years. It’s had one of the most impressive charts on the Street but over the last year, shares have stalled. It may need a big beat this quarter to get those shares out of the range.
