These stocks reporting next week have history of beating expectations

Palo Alto Networks is among the group of stocks that could exceed Wall Street's estimates and outperform next week. After a month of intense earnings reports, next week offers investors some relief. Just a handful of companies in the S & P 500 will report their earnings, and Disney is the week's big headliner. If stocks post earnings or revenue numbers that exceed analysts' expectations, they can often rally afterward. CNBC Pro screened data from Bespoke Investor Group to find stocks that have, in the past, demonstrated a pattern of topping Street forecasts and then rising in the day that follows. Specifically, the companies in the table below have beaten earnings per share estimates at least 65% of the time, and have then averaged a gain of at least 1% the day after posting their results.
