5 Stocks Set To Crush Q2 Earnings

The S&P 500 finally reached new all-time highs this week, surpassing the level last seen in February, and investors have plenty of confidence as they move into the summer.

While several factors influenced the April drawdown and subsequent recovery, the market's continued strength has been bolstered by strong corporate earnings in the first quarter. This month, we will begin to see earnings figures for the second quarter. Whether those numbers can match those from Q1 could make or break this rally.

Today, we’re examining five stocks that not only reported impressive Q1 results but also increased their guidance for Q2, indicating they anticipate earnings to remain strong. These are the most likely stocks to keep rallying through earnings season.

Let’s take a look.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc.

Ulta Beauty Inc.

Following the optimistic report and guidance raise, the stock rallied fiercely, jumping 11% in the session following the earnings release. A bullish technical signal materialized as well: the Golden Cross, where the stock's 50-day MA rises above the 200-day MA. A Golden Cross signifies renewed interest from technical traders, and combined with the earnings tailwinds, gives ULTA a strong bull case going forward.

Adobe Inc. 

Amer Sports Inc. 

Amer Sports raised guidance on both full-year EPS and revenue projections, delighting the market and quelling fears in an industry that's been unequally punished by tariffs. The stock made new all-time highs earlier this month, with the uptrend strengthening thanks to increasing volume and bullish action on the moving averages. Don't sleep on this up-and-coming sports apparel machine.

Jabil Inc. 

The company's second-half plans were applauded by investors, who sent the stock to new all-time highs earlier this month. The share price had already risen above the 50-day and 200-day MAs back in May and the uptrend continues to gain steam on solid fundamental data. The technical and fundamental tailwinds are supported by continued analyst backing, including Bank of America, which raised its JABL price target to an industry high of $245 on June 20.
