5 Earnings Charts To Watch

Earnings season isn’t over yet. There’s over 400 companies reporting earnings again this week including the always popular restaurant companies as well as other top consumer names.

With unemployment at a multi-decade low, GDP inching higher and tax cuts for both corporations and individual tax payers pumping more cash into the economy, you’d think it would be a good time to be in a consumer-focused business.

But competition is fierce, whether or not its in restaurants, retail or fitness.

Which companies should you be watching this week?

5 Earnings Charts to Watch

1. MindBody (NASDAQ:MB) hasn’t missed earnings since its 2105 IPO. That’s a great record. Shares are new multi-year highs. Will it grow subscribers fast enough to keep the momentum?

2. Wayfair (NYSE:W) missed only twice since its 2014 IPO but the bigger question is: when will it actually see positive earnings?

3. First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) has beat 10 quarters in a row and shares have rebounded. Is the rally over?

4. Garmin (NASDAQ:GRMN) has beat 8 quarters in a row and shares are at 5-year highs.

5. Planet Fitness (NYSE:PLNT) hasn’t missed since its 2015 IPO. Shares have busted out of their narrow trading range and are near the all-time highs. Will it keep its earnings surprise track record this quarter?
