All 5 Companies Beat Last Quarter
All 5 of these companies beat on earnings last quarter. Four out of the 5 companies have outstanding earnings surprise track records though. Two of them have only missed once in the last 5 years.
It’s not easy to beat every quarter, or almost every quarter, for 5 years. It takes great management that communicates well with the analysts. Everyone has to get on the same page.
Will these companies beat again this quarter?
And what do they see with the economy, the consumer and their businesses?
