This Week's 5 Top Earnings Charts

Six out of the seven Magnificent 7 stocks have reported second quarter earnings. Only NVIDIA remains. But that doesn’t mean that earnings season is over. This week is another busy earnings week with 100 S&P 500 companies reporting.

How to pick out the “top” charts to watch? There are too many but these 5 are popular stocks that should be on the top of your list.

All 5 Beat Last Quarter

All 5 of these companies beat on earnings last quarter. Disney has the best track record, however. It has beat 10 quarters in a row. Does it surprise you that it has a longer winning streak than McDonald’s?
