Read MoreHide Full Article

Earnings season kicks into high gear this week with over 190 companies reporting, including many big cap Dow and S&P 500 names.

But who has the best earnings track record out of those names?

It’s not easy to beat nearly every quarter in a row for years but these companies have managed to do that. Additionally, the shares, on many of them, have been breaking out to new highs.

Will another beat push the shares up even higher?

This Week’s Amazing Earnings Charts

1.    Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM - Free Report) has missed just once in the last 5 years. Like a lot of the semis, shares are at 5-year highs. Will the good times last?

2.    Snap-On (SNA - Free Report) hasn’t missed in 5 years but shares have stalled out the last 2 years. What will get these shares moving higher again?

3.    PPG Industries (PPG - Free Report) has missed just once, back in 2014. But shares have been stuck in a narrow trading range the last 3 years. With manufacturing picking up again, will these shares finally make new highs?

4.    Intuitive Surgical (ISRG - Free Report) is one of the hottest medical stocks on the Street. It has beat 9 quarters in a row. Is there anything that can stop the shares from moving higher?

5.    PayPal (PYPL - Free Report) hasn’t missed since it was spun-off from eBay in 2015. With mobile payments taking center stage, the stock has really skyrocketed. Is it too much or do fundamentals justify the big move?
