The Best Earnings Charts To Finish The Week

This is another big week for earnings, with over 1,000 companies expected to report including some of the most-watched names on the Street.

These 5 companies have great earnings surprise track records. 4 out of 5 of them have only missed one time in the last 5 years. That’s an incredible record which is difficult to maintain quarter after quarter.

Many people think it’s easy to tinker with the EPS guidance and then magically “beat” the analyst consensus every quarter, but most businesses have cycles which makes it difficult to predict.

A good earnings surprise track record, therefore, usually indicates solid management that is good at communicating with the analysts.

Will these 5 companies continue with their hot streaks this week?

3. FireEye (NASDAQ:FEYE) has only missed once in 5 years but shares have been in a narrow trading range for years. Will another beat finally push them higher?
