This Week's Hottest Earnings Charts

Read MoreHide Full Article

Earnings season isn’t over yet even though a lot of the S&P 500 companies have reported.

This week, some of the most popular names on Wall Street will report earnings including companies in the restaurant industry, social media and retail.

These are the hot stocks, even though some have good earnings track records and some do not.

Will the recent stock market volatility play a factor in the trade after these companies report?

This Week’s Hottest Earnings Charts

1.    Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (CMG - Free Report) is coming off a miss last quarter but the real concern is same restaurant sales. Are the customers returning? Until then, investors are mostly sitting on the sidelines. The stock isn’t cheap either, with a forward P/E of 32. It’s one of those no-man’s land stocks: not a value but not a growth stock either.

2.    Tesla (TSLA - Free Report) has a horrible earnings track record and still isn’t making any money. But that has never concerned investors in the past and likely won’t with this earnings report as shares still trade near their 5-year highs.

3.    Grubhub has only missed twice since its 2014 IPO but shares are soaring and now trade at 62x. The fears about Amazon taking market share appear to have abated. But is it now too hot to handle?

4.    Twitter hasn’t missed since 2014 and its recent beats have been huge. The stock got no lover until 2017 when some started to believe it could be an acquisition target. It’s expected to make 40 cents a share in 2017 and another 45 cents in 2018. Are the worst days over?

5.    Canada Goose (GOOS - Free Report) only went IPO in 2017. The cold winter in the Northeast, which has already seen several polar vortexes, could translate into big holiday quarter sales. But the shares are now trading at 78x. Is it too much too fast?
