Several companies reporting earnings next week have a strong history of beating Wall Street expectations and rewarding investors with share gains. CNBC Pro screened data from Bespoke Investment Group for companies that beat EPS estimates at least 80% of the time with an average gain of 1.5% or more on earnings days, identifying seven stocks. RingCentral leads the screen with a 98% beat rate and an average 4.2% gain on earnings day, while Intuitive Surgical follows with 89% beats and a 2.4% average gain. Intuitive Surgical is expected to report on October 20, and RingCentral is scheduled to report on October 22 after the close. Consensus price targets suggest nearly 15% upside for Intuitive Surgical and a potential 27% decline for RingCentral.
