This Week’s Most Amazing Earnings Charts

Earnings season isn’t over yet. This week, there are still several hundred companies reporting, including some of the most famous names in business.

But not every company has a great earnings track record. It’s not easy to beat every quarter, or nearly every quarter, for years at a time.

It takes good management and a relationship with analysts who clearly know the company. Sometimes it even takes a little bit of luck.

In addition to earnings beats, these five companies have amazing charts as well.

Can they keep their momentum?

2. Groupon (GRPN – Free Report) hasn’t missed since 2014 but shares were stuck in a narrow range for years. In 2017, finally, they started to see the light. Is a true breakout imminent in 2018 or will hopes be dashed?
