The Most Important Earnings Reports To Watch This Week

More than a third of the entire US stock market (based on market cap) is set to report earnings this week. And the 40 largest companies set to report make up more than $7 trillion in market cap! Needless to say, it’s going to be a busy week for earnings.

Below is a table of the largest stocks set to report this week sorted by date and time. For each stock, we also include its historical earnings “beat rate,” which represents the percentage of the time that the stock has reported EPS that are stronger than consensus analyst estimates.

Alphabet (GOOG) — the third largest company in the world at $827 billion — is the big report today after the close. On Tuesday, we’ll hear from big Dow stocks like VZ, MMM, and UTX, followed by BA, KO, and V on Wednesday. We’ll also hear from key Tech companies like Facebook (FB), PayPal (PYPL), and Qualcomm (QCOM) on Wednesday after the close.

MasterCard (MA) and McDonald’s (MCD) are among the biggest reports on Thursday morning, while Amazon (AMZN), Intel (INTC), Amgen (AMGN), and Starbucks (SBUX) will be on everyone’s radars on Thursday after the close. Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), and Merck (MRK) close out the week with reports on Friday morning.

Of the stocks listed, UTX, LMT, FB, V, and MA have historically beaten EPS estimates the most often (all more than 92% of the time).
