There are a lot of popular social media and consumer names reporting, along with some of the retailers.

We’re going to get more insight into what is going on in the Chinese and US economies. Is consumer spending slowing down?

These 5 companies should provide some much-needed clues into what 2019 could have in store and they have great earnings surprise track records as well.

5 Fantastic Earnings Charts

1.    Capri (CPRI - Free Report) , also formerly known as Michael Kors, has a great track record of beating the estimate. It hasn’t missed in 5 years. But shares came down sharply to end 2018 on fears over a global recession. CPRI has a big presence in China so keep an eye on those sales.

2.    Match Group (MTCH - Free Report) has really turned it around, beating 3 quarters in a row after a string of misses. The owner of Tinder and Match.com had one of the hottest charts of the last year, up 64% during that time. But is all the good news already priced in or are the dating apps still seeing big growth?

3.    iRobot (IRBT - Free Report) also has a great earnings surprise record. It hasn’t missed in 5 years. That’s impressive. But the stock has gotten choppy over the past 2 years. Can it test its all-time highs again in 2019?

4.    Tapestry (TPR - Free Report) is the company formerly known as Coach. It, too, hasn’t missed in 5 years but the shares also retreated to end 2018. Shares are still down 9.4% over the past 3 months even though they have rebounded off their recent lows. With a forward P/E of 13.8, is this stock a deal?

5.    Yum (YUM - Free Report) has been on fire the last 2 years, with shares surging 38% in that period. It also has a great beat record. Yum hasn’t missed since 2015. It’s no longer cheap, with a forward P/E of 24.9. Will this earnings report give the shares even further momentum or is the good news priced in?
