Even though earnings season is winding down, there are still over 300 companies reporting this week including some big tech and retail names.

Tracey dug through all of the charts to find only the best.

It’s not easy beating the earnings estimate nearly every quarter.

But here are three doing it this week:

1.    Zoe’s Kitchen (ZOE) hasn’t missed since its 2014 IPO but restaurant stocks are out of favor.

2.    Home Depot (HD Quick QuoteHD - Free Report) is the king of all retail charts and the best chart of this week. It’s an earnings surprise beast. It’s last miss was 8 years ago.

3.    TJX (TJX Quick QuoteTJX - Free Report) has missed twice, both in 2014, but since then it has strung together a nice beat record. How’s the holiday season shaping up?

All three of these companies should be on your short list if you’re trading the earnings report.
