This Week's Most Spectacular Earnings Charts

Read MoreHide Full Article

This is the week that investors love.

Even though it’s not the busiest week in earnings season, with just about 400 companies reporting, it includes some of the biggest, most glamorous technology and social media companies on the planet: the FANG stocks.

But there are a lot of other companies with outstanding earnings surprise track records reporting this week too. They shouldn’t be overlooked.

It’s not easy to beat the estimate quarter after quarter for 5 years. That takes real management skill. Yet these 5 companies have beat every quarter, or nearly every quarter, for that time period.

These are the best charts on the Street this week, and, in some cases, the best on the Street period.

All of these stocks are trading at or near 5-year highs.

Can they keep up their tremendous momentum?

This Week’s Most Spectacular Earnings Charts

1.    Boeing (BA - Free Report) has missed just one time in 5 years. The shares have been hotter in 2017 and 2018 than some of the more glamorous FANG stocks. But shares are now trading at 28x. Is it too hot to handle?

2.    Microsoft (MSFT - Free Report) often gets overlooked but it has put together a string of 6 beats in a row. Can it keep its earnings streak alive?

3.    CME Group (CME - Free Report) hasn’t missed since 2014. Shares are hitting new 5-year highs on bullishness over the cryptocurrency trading and blockchain applications. Yet, shares are no longer cheap, with a forward P/E of 24.7.

4.    Mastercard (MA - Free Report) has only missed once in 5 years and it was all the way back in 2014. Shares have spiked higher in 2018 on the bullish global view. Will it live up to investors’ expectations again this quarter?

5.    Visa (V - Free Report) has the best earnings chart on the Street. Period. Since its IPO in 2008, it has NEVER missed on the estimate. Impressive. No one does it like Visa but with a forward P/E of 30, is it too pricey to touch?
