1. Mastercard Inc. MA has only missed once in the last 5 years and it was during the pandemic. That miss otherwise marred an earnings surprise streak going back to 2014. Shares are up 10% year-to-date and remain pricey with a forward P/E of 48.4. Is it too hot to handle at this valuation?

2. Parker-Hannifin Corp (NYSE:PH). PH is one of the two companies with a perfect earnings surprise track record. Impressive. This motion and control technologies company has rallied in 2021 and is up 17.9% year-to-date. It trades with a forward P/E of “just” 22.4. Is there more gas left in the tank?

3. AbbVie Inc (NYSE:ABBV). ABBV also has a perfect earnings surprise track record with no misses in the last 5 years. Amazing. This maker of Botox is also one of the cheapest large caps around, with a forward P/E of just 8.9. What’s the Street missing on this company that it remains so cheap?

4. Illinois Tool Works ITW has only missed once in the past 5 years. It’s an old economy company, founded in 1912 but it’s shares have been red-hot, gaining another 12% in 2021. It’s no longer cheap, at 28.7x forward earnings. Is it priced for perfection?
