Earnings All Stars Near New Highs

Read MoreHide Full Article

Can’t keep track of all the earnings reports?

You’re not alone.

This week over 1,400 companies are expected to report earnings. That’s a lot.

That’s why Tracey has looked through their earnings charts to pick out only companies with the best earnings surprise track records.

Of course, past beats are no guarantee of future surprises but investors should take a look at companies that have a history of beating because it’s not easy to beat quarter after quarter.

There are only a couple dozen companies that have multi-year perfect beat records. But even just one or two misses over 5 years is pretty rare.

In this busy week, these are five companies you should be watching. Will they keep up their great track records?

The Best Earnings Charts to Close the Week

1.    Kellogg (K - Free Report) has missed just once in 5 years. That’s a great record but the shares are off the highs.

2.    Dunkin Brands is a rare restaurant stock whose shares are actually near 5-year highs, instead of lows. What is Dunkin Brands doing right?

3.    CBS has missed only once in the prior 5 years. Impressive. It’s in the hot, but competitive, media industry. Shares are near 5-year highs.

4.    MasTec (MTZ - Free Report) is a Trump trade stock as it builds infrastructure, specifically pipelines. Shares have gotten a big boost since the election. Can the rally continue?

5.    AMN Healthcare (AMN - Free Report) is a little-known healthcare staffing company which hasn’t missed earnings in 5 years. Shares are testing the 5-year highs.

Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?

Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.

With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.

It's not the one you think.
