Earnings season has officially begun, but this week isn't only about Alcoa.
This week's best earnings charts include two transports and a company you might not have heard of.
The transports have made a comeback in 2016.
Railroad CSX (CSX - Free Report) kicks it off with its solid earnings record. It has beat 11 quarters in a row. Shares are off their early 2016 lows and have been on a big rally.
Delta (DAL - Free Report) has missed only twice in the last 5 years. You have to love that consistency but questions remain about the airline industry which could impact the shares more than its miss or beat.
Blackhawk Network has only missed twice since the Bay Area company went public in 2013. Shares are off their highs however. The chart isn't as pretty as the others.
What else should you know about these earnings charts? Tune into the short video to find out.
