5 Top Earnings Charts to Watch This Week

It’s a big week for earnings as the Magnificent 7 stocks start to report. Tesla will be the first of the mega-caps to report earnings. But there are dozens of other companies investors and traders should be watching as well.

There’s a good mix of AI infrastructure companies, semiconductors, software companies, banks, homebuilders, and commodities companies like gold miners. The AI infrastructure stocks are breaking out again heading into this report. The software stocks, while still weak year-to-date, are off recent lows. Is the worst over?

Gold has pulled back from its all-time highs but remains elevated, above $4500 an ounce. In the first quarter, it was even higher, which means record free cash flows for most of the miners again.

ServiceNow: A Perfect 5 Year Track Record

It’s not easy being perfect on earnings. Few companies beat every quarter for five years. Events happen, like Covid, the tariffs, or the Iran War, which can upend even the best of plans.

But ServiceNow has managed to have a perfect record. Lam Research also has an impressive record with just one miss.

Will these companies keep their earnings streaks alive?

5 Top Earnings Charts to Watch This Week

It’s not cheap. Lam Research trades with a forward P/E of 49.7. But earnings are expected to rise 28% in 2026. Will this breakout continue?

2. GE Vernova Inc. (GEV) doesn’t have the greatest earnings surprise track record. It has beat only twice out of the last 4 quarters. But it did beat last quarter, and by 339%. Shares of GE Vernova are trading at new all-time highs, up 51.7% year-to-date. It’s not a value stock. GE Vernova is trading with a forward P/E of 69.7. Will GE Vernova beat big again this quarter?
