Read MoreHide Full Article

Only about 120 companies are reporting earnings this week as earnings season winds down.

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t some big names, with some hot charts.

These five companies have great earnings surprise track records over the last 5 years. They rarely miss, which isn’t easy to do over a five-year period. Only a few companies are able to beat every quarter consistently.

Additionally, their shares have been on fire during that time, easily beating the return of the S&P 500 over that same period.

Will they beat again?

5 Earnings All Stars with Amazing Charts

1.    American Eagle Outfitters (AEO - Free Report) has missed only twice in the last 5 years. After hitting new lows in 2017, shares have soared to 5-year highs. Can it keep up the momentum?

2.    Salesforce.com (CRM - Free Report) is a beast. It hasn’t missed since our data began in 2015. Shares are up 41% year-to-date. Will another beat propel it to further heights?

3.    Burlington Stores (BURL - Free Report) is one of the best performing retailers that no one talks about. It hasn’t missed since its 2013 IPO. Shares have soared 34% in 2018. Is it priced for perfection?

4.    Lululemon (LULU - Free Report) is back. After treading water for several years, it has broken out of the channel. Shares have jumped 74% in 2018. With other luxury retailers reporting strong numbers, will Lululemon continue its breakout?

5.    Ulta Beauty (ULTA - Free Report) used to be the King of the Retailers. But worries about future growth and valuation have hampered the shares. It has only missed once since 2015, however. Will it reclaim some momentum this quarter?
