This is the busiest week of the earnings season with over 1000 companies expected to report.

There are still many big cap, well-known companies expected to report but we’ll also start hearing from many small and mid-cap names. They will be coming at you in waves.

But who are the key companies the Street will be focusing on this week?

I went through all the charts, so you don’t have to, and pulled out the hottest names.

Not only do these 5 companies have great earnings track records, but their shares have been soaring in 2018. Can they keep up both the earnings and the share momentum?

With some of the FAANG stocks seemingly faltering, despite another quarter of earnings beats, the pressure will be on this week’s companies to blow it out.

This Week’s Top 5 Earnings Charts

1.    Shopify (SHOP Quick QuoteSHOP - Free Report) hasn’t missed since the 2015 IPO and it has some really big beats in there too. Year-to-date, shares are up 41% even though they have pulled back heading into the report. Will it do it again this quarter?

2.    Baidu (BIDU Quick QuoteBIDU - Free Report) has the great earnings track record with no misses since 2015 but shares are extremely choppy. And with all the trade and tariff worries, it looks likely to stay this volatile.

3.    Apple (AAPL Quick QuoteAAPL - Free Report) has one of the best-looking charts of the week. It has missed only once in the last 5 years. Shares are up a solid 10% year-to-date heading into the report. Will this be one FAANG that doesn’t disappoint?

4.    Ferrari (RACE Quick QuoteRACE - Free Report) is coming off of a miss and there is also a new CEO with the passing of Sergio Marchionne. For investors, this will be a must-listen conference call to find out the future direction of the company.

5.    Square (SQ Quick QuoteSQ - Free Report) has a great track record of beating. It’s only misses were the first two quarters out of the gate and it has beat ever since. Shares have been on fire, gaining 100% year-to-date before the recent FAANG growth stock sell-off has cooled them. Will it see another breakout on the earnings or is it too hot to handle?
