Which Stocks Look Ready to Pop and Drop with Earnings? (AAPL, AKAM, FSLR, V, GMCR, CERN, POT, GLW, JEC, EBAY, NFLX)

by Geoff Seiler | July 23rd  |  Filed in: Stock Analysis

Stocks tend to be most volatile around earnings season, when a good or bad report can make or break it. However, a good or even great earnings report doesn’t necessarily translate into a huge pop for a stock.

With the bulk of earnings season upon us, BullMarket.com has started a new earnings preview feature with its service. The previews look at historical earnings data and EPS trends; examine past investor reactions to earnings in various contexts; gives options activity analysis; reviews previous-quarter earnings; and gives an opinion on both what earnings will look like and how investors will react based on the aforementioned data points.

It’s easy to predict that a stock like Apple (AAPL) will soar past analyst EPS estimates when it reports earnings, but what type of stock movement should investors expect based on past history?

In its earnings previews for the week of July 26th-30th, BullMarket.com looks at several popular stocks, including Akamai Technology (AKAM), First Solar (FSLR), Visa (V), Green Mountain Coffee (GMCR), Cerner (CERN), Potash Corp. (POT), Corning (GLW), and Jacobs Engineering (JEC).

The past two weeks, BullMarket.com used the data to correctly predict investor reactions for 13 of 15 stocks through July 22nd including:

  • that Intel (INTC) would report a very strong earnings and the stock would rise.
  • to be bullish on JP Morgan Chase (JPM), but bearish on Bank of America (BAC).
  • to be negative on Google (GOOG) ahead of earnings.
  • that Yum Brands (YUM) would report a strong report but that the stock would fall.
  • to lean bullish on eBay (EBAY).
  • to expect Netflix (NFLX) to beat earnings but for the stock to sell off.
  • to be bullish on Apple, Caterpillar (CAT), and Baidu.com (BIDU), going into earnings.
  • to expected a muted investor reaction to Kinder Morgan’s (KMP) earnings report.
