These companies set to report earnings next week generally beat estimates and trade higher

A group of companies scheduled to report quarterly results in the coming weeks tend to beat analyst estimates and see their stocks trade higher, a recent analysis showed. This earnings season, investors are watching how companies have fared given the highest inflation in roughly four decades, which may be starting to discourage consumer spending. In addition, ongoing geopolitical tension, supply chain issues, foreign exchange pressures, rate hikes from the Federal Reserve and the threat of an upcoming recession could potentially weigh on results. Investors will also likely be keeping an eye on outlooks to see if companies adjust forecasts given the economic uncertainty. With this in mind, CNBC Pro analyzed data from Bespoke Investment Group to find which companies have consistently outperformed expectations and traded higher after releasing financial results. ManpowerGroup ManpowerGroup has an 88% earnings beat rate and could see its stock increase more than 1% if it bests analyst expectations again, according to the data.
