5 Spectacular FAANG Stock Earnings Charts

Read MoreHide Full Article

Earnings season is back and kicks off with the big banks.

But most investors are really waiting for the main event: the FAANG stocks.

You know them: Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Alphabet (aka Google).

Netflix will be the first of the FAANGs to report earnings. It reports on July 20. But all 5 will have reported by the end of the month.

They will set the tone for earnings season.

4 of the 5 are hitting new all-time highs going into these reports.

Is the market already pricing in good news?

Or can another great quarter push these stocks up even higher?

FAANG’s Spectacular Earnings Charts

1.    Facebook has beat 4 quarters in a row. The company is still in the news for various issues, but shares have hit new highs heading into the report as it makes a push into the creator economy. It is the cheapest of the FAANGs with a forward P/E of “just” 26.6. Is Facebook a value stock?

2.    Apple (AAPL - Free Report) has the best earnings surprise track record of the FAANGs. It hasn’t missed in 5 years. That’s impressive while a pandemic is ongoing. Shares are up only 9% year-to-date, but have busted out to new highs. With a forward P/E of 28, is it too pricey at these levels?

3.    Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) has beat big four quarters in a row as the big retailers have cashed in during the pandemic. Shares have finally busted out of a multi-month slump and are back at new highs. But is all the good news already priced in?

4.    Netflix (NFLX - Free Report) has had a spotty earnings surprise track record during the pandemic. It beat last quarter but has missed the four quarters prior to that. Year-to-date shares are up just 1.3%, underperforming the S&P 500 which is up 16%. Will earnings give the shares momentum?

5.    Alphabet (GOOGL - Free Report) has beaten 4 quarters in a row, with last quarter one of the company’s best quarters ever. Shares are on fire, up 46% year-to-date and at new all-time highs. It now trades at 28x forward earnings. But after last quarter’s amazing results, can it do it again? Expectations are high.
