10 Stocks Poised For Pre-Earnings Runs in October

Tom Bowley -

In lieu of a Tuesday Daily Market Report, I decided to do some research and offer up several stocks that could be setting up nicely as their earnings dates approach. I'll be back with my next Daily Market Report on Wednesday.

It's earnings season and with major indices at all-time highs, expectations are going to be high as Q3 earnings begin to roll out. Historically, we've seen many stocks make significant moves higher just prior to releasing very solid quarterly revenue and earnings. The purpose of this article is to focus on 10 stocks that could make big moves higher, based upon current technical evidence. We'll check those 10 stocks out in a minute, but first let's summarize criteria that I looked for in establishing this list.

Pre-Earnings Run Criteria

Right now, we have 544 stocks on our Raised Guidance ChartList (RGCL), so I started with this list. Every stock considered would have seen management raise their revenue guidance, earnings guidance, or both, over the past 3 months. It would make sense to me that, given management's confidence in raising guidance recently, many of these companies could begin to rise significantly ahead of what could be very strong earnings reports.

Here are the criteria I looked for in selecting the 10 stocks below:

  • Is a current component of our Raised Guidance ChartList (RGCL)
  • Reports quarterly results within the next 5 weeks - no later than 11/10
  • Has a strong AD line, suggesting that Wall Street continues to accumulate
  • SCTR score is above 80, maintaining excellent relative strength
  • Very modest gains (< 5%) or losses over the past month, thus consolidating
  • Have RSIs representative of a consolidating stock - from 40-50 or slightly below
  • Showed excellent industry leadership prior to consolidation (ie, leading stock)
