This Week's 5 Must-See Earnings Surprise Charts

Earnings season continues to roll on as the Street waits for NVIDIA to report. But that won’t be until next week. Meanwhile, over 500 companies are set to report this week including many retailers.

There have been mixed retail reports so far. Lower end retail appears to be slowing but middle is hanging in. While it remains to be seen what is happening, if anything, with luxury retail.

But not everything is about retail this week. There are more big technology names reporting along with old economy stocks in the industrial and agriculture industries.

Earnings Perfection

Two of these 5 companies have perfect earnings surprise track records over the last 5 years. That’s impressive. That period includes the pandemic.

The other 3 companies also have solid records. It’s not easy to beat every quarter, or nearly every quarter, for 5 years.

Will these companies beat again?
