Earnings season is picking up steam fast as over 1,400 companies are expected to report earnings this week, including a large chunk of the S&P 500.
We’re getting a bunch of hot names again this week including tech giant Apple.
But just because they are widely-held and watched doesn’t mean they have the best earnings charts.
It’s hard to beat the consensus every quarter for years. Even these popular companies have trouble doing it.
Which are the best at beating the estimate every quarter out of these 5 hot companies? And will it matter in what the stock does after the report?
This Week’s Must See Earnings Charts
1. Apple (AAPL - Free Report) has really improved its track record in recent years. It hasn’t missed since early 2014. But the bigger question will be what it will do with all that cash which continues to build?
2. Gilead (GILD - Free Report) has missed just 3 times in the last 5 years but that solid record hasn’t helped the shares, which are sinking instead of rallying. Will this earnings report get them out of their funk?
3. Facebook has beat 6 quarters in a row and shares are hitting new highs going into the number. But is it priced for perfection?
4. Tesla (TSLA - Free Report) has an awful earnings record. It misses more than it beats. But investors don’t seem to care. What is said on the conference call has been more important so be sure to tune in.
5. Square (SQ - Free Report) has put together 3 beats in a row and is hitting new highs. Jack Dorsey’s “other” company is showing some spark. Will the earnings give shares another boost?
