This Week's 5 Red-Hot Earnings Charts

In This Article:

Earnings season is winding down but that means we still have many of the retailers, who usually report at the end of earnings season, and some large cap technology companies yet to report.

It’s not a quiet week for earnings. There are dozens of companies that are expected to report including big box retailers like Macy’s, Target and Lowe’s.

But what about the red-hot companies?

These five companies have great earnings surprise track records, including one that is perfect over the last 5 years. It’s not easy to beat every quarter, or nearly every quarter, for years especially in the middle of a pandemic.

They are already breaking out to new highs and are up big in the last year. Will another beat push them even higher?
