5 Must-Watch Earnings Charts

This is the week that investors love.

Even though it’s not the busiest week in earnings season, with just about 400 companies reporting, it includes some of the biggest, most glamorous technology and social media companies on the planet: the FANG stocks.

But there are a lot of other companies with outstanding earnings surprise track records reporting this week too. They shouldn’t be overlooked.

These are five companies you should be tuning into this week. While some are technology companies, the “non-FANGs” so-to-speak, others are in retail, energy and the auto industry.

Just how hot is the global economy right now?

Tune into these names to get clues.

This Week’s Must-Watch Earnings Charts

1. PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) hasn’t missed since its 2015 spin-off from eBay. Shares have soared, however. Is the move justified or is it priced for perfection?

2. eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY) hasn’t missed since 2014. That big sell off in 2015 was the PayPal spin-off. eBay has always been overlooked by technology investors but the shares have been grinding higher. Maybe it’s time to take a second look?

3. Ralph Lauren (NYSE:RL) has missed only one time in 5 years yet the shares sank to new multi-year lows last year on fears that all the apparel retailers were going under thanks to Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). That obviously hasn’t happened. Is the worst finally over for the apparel companies?

4. Ferrari (NYSE:RACE) is a niche player in the auto industry but it’s serving them well. It has only missed once since its 2015 IPO and it was in the very first report.

5. Chevron (NYSE:CVX) has put together 3 beats in a row as crude prices have risen off the lows. Shares are testing the 5-year highs. Is energy about to become a real player in this stock market rally?

The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All

Last year, it generated $8 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $47 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
