If you want to know how the consumer is holding up, tune into these 5 earnings reports.

5 Key Consumer Stock Earnings Charts

1.    Estee Lauder EL has one of the best charts of the week. It hasn’t missed in 5 years. Shares are trading near the 5-year highs and have gained 46% year-to-date. Is this too hot to handle?

2.    Yeti YETI has been one of the hottest stocks of the year with shares up 111% year-to-date. It’s trading with a forward P/E of 30. It has beat every quarter since its 2018 IPO. Will it do so again?

3.    Wayfair W has beat 2 out of the last 4 quarters. Shares are off their 2019 highs and are up just 11.7% year-to-date which is under performing the S&P 500 which is up 21%. Wayfair still isn’t expected to see positive earnings this year, however.

4.    Funko FNKO declared that it was “recession-proof” last quarter as it makes a lot of collectibles, which Funko believes consumers will continue to buy even in tough times. Shares have sunk 30% over the last 3 months, however. It hasn’t missed since its 2017 IPO. Is this a buying opportunity?

5.    Alibaba BABA has beat 4 quarters in a row but shares have stalled over the last 2 years. Although, year-to-date, they’re up 29% which is out performing the S&P 500’s 21%. Are the worst fears about the tariffs and trade war already priced in?

 [In full disclosure, the author of this article owns FNKO in her personal portfolio.]
