5 Earnings Charts You Have to See

Read MoreHide Full Article

Most of the S&P 500 has reported, but they don’t make up the entire stock market. There are still over 600 companies expected to report this week and another 300+ companies next week, including many big retailers.

Don’t worry. If you’re one of those who loves the action of the earnings season, there’s still plenty more to come.

It’s not easy for companies to beat every quarter. It’s only a select few who can be this consistent.  

Here are 5 that have been able to do it:

1.    Kroger (KR - Free Report) is coming off a rare miss last quarter. Perhaps the pressure to beat is now off?

2.    Burlington Stores (BURL - Free Report) hasn’t missed since its 2013 IPO but it’s a retailer. And even worse, it’s in apparel. Can shares keep surging?

3.    American Outdoor Brands is best known by its former name of Smith & Wesson. The gun maker has a perfect 5-year record but the bigger challenge appears to be a downdraft in gun sales since Trump won the election. Watch for comments on 2017 sales.

4.    Wingstop (WING - Free Report) hasn’t missed since its 2015 IPO. 2015 was the year of the restaurant IPO but things have been a bit rocky for most of the companies since then. Watch same-store sales.

5.    Ulta Beauty (ULTA - Free Report) reports next week but I couldn’t resist including it here. It’s the beast of the retail industry with the highest comps in the industry. It has only missed once in 5 years but the real question is, is it priced for perfection and what happens if we don’t get that?
