Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the first edition of a daily podcast. It's called Benzing a sax to watch podcast. My name is Brent Slava. I'm head of the Benzinga pro Newsdesk. And joining me is one of my partners on the news desk and one of our senior reporters, Steve Kraus, Steve what's going on.
Hey, everyone. Not much. How's nice. We had a nice little long weekend this last weekend. How was your nice long. It was great. It was great. The markets were closed on Monday due to president's data and hopefully someone got some good furniture deals with some mattresses some cars all the classics.
But now we're back into the short trading week and we've got some we're in the midst of earning season. You said it, and we are going to talk about the earnings. And the podcast say I wanted to give just a really quick intro here for what this podcast is going to be out. So on the Benzinger protein, we publish a daily piece of content for Benzing approa premium subscribers.
It's called the stocks to watch list. And the intent of that piece of content is just to get. Our Benzing pro users, a few ideas, a handful of ideas on stocks that the Benzing and Newsdesk thinks could be volatile today, could see some extra trader interests. And so the idea here is just to turn that piece of content into something audio so y'all can listen while you are getting prepared for your market trading day.
And Stevia gave a nice little segue there. This is going to be the busy earning season of the Q4 earnings season. And it's not as many exciting names reporting right now, but there are going to be a lot of companies reporting. And so what we want to do really quick for our podcast today, it's only going to be a few minutes.
Each day is give a little. Of the sacks that we have on our radar for earnings this week, also go into a little bit of why earnings are important for trader and investor, and then give a couple tips on where you can find some of this information on benzo. How does that sound? Steve sounds great to me.
Yeah, we definitely have, like you said, not the most exciting news we've already had apple, Microsoft we've already had our big hitters are portable. We still have some fairly important media companies. Palo Alto network tonight. That's Tuesday night, 22nd Palo Alto network, pan w that's a cybersecurity slash software play Teladoc, T D O C.
That's a another software play. Yeah, the go-to play for the tele-health play. If you're interested in something like. Yup. We've got a toll brothers, tol home builders. So some infrastructure play right there and a CZR very popular that Caesar's that's a a sports betting slash casino play was part of the reopening stocks play.
And so that's just for Tuesday, Steve and I are just going to bounce through a list, put some of these tickers on. Wednesday before the market open, we're going to be getting lows. That's the home improvement, retailer, ticker low. Keep in mind that home Depot, ticker HD Digitas have earnings today.
And also pre-market tomorrow that's Wednesday TJX companies. They're sorta like an off-brand lower price retailer after hours tomorrow, Wednesday, eBay, E B a Y and also lemonade, L M N. How about Thursday, Steve? Oh my God. Thursday is the day. Thursday's always the day for earnings, but man, this week is going to be a big one.
Okay. So pre-market, we've got Alibaba, which is the Amazon of Asia. The ABA, we got Medina, obviously the big vaccine plate I'm RNA. Those are premium. After hours we've got square or block is the rebranding sq, we got grub hub. G R U B Coinbase, C O I N Z, scaler, Z S beyond meat. BYN D VMware VMW and first solar FSLR.
We got MNS T, which is monster beverage. R K T rocket mortgage NCL, H which is Norwegian cruise lines, reopening plate and Del D E L L. That is a big list for Thursday. And that is just the top identified stocks. They're definitely going to be probably a hundred. 150 more than that as well.
And then Friday rounded off the lists here, nothing super excited on Friday, but didn't want to get Footlocker on everyone's radar, that sticker FL. So there's your list of earnings plays a lot of potential earnings plays for this week really quickly wanted to just go into a couple of. On why earnings are important and earnings are probably like the top news catalysts that you can find.
If there is any type of news item that is going to move a stock, always it'll either be like MNA, a big M and a deal, or pretty much. The thing to keep in mind with earnings is that the results that you're getting are for a quarter in the past the quarter ended at the end of December in this case for the Q4 earnings season, we are in Q1, but companies are reporting their results for last quarter.
That being said, when you are reading earnings reports, when you're looking at earnings reports, remember that a lot of companies will give guidance. They'll give an outlook, they'll give something forward. Look. And that is forward-looking. So a lot of. Earnings is going to be the headline that people focus on, but guidance can be even more important than earnings can sometimes.
So keep your eyes on the guidance and then also something to look out for in these earnings releases. And Steve, if you don't mind going through in a sec here, and he can describe a little bit on where to find some of this information on earnings, keep in mind in those earnings press releases, you are going to get information about potential shareholder payout, and dividends. Those are, that's another couple types of news items that you'll see contained within an earnings. Yeah, exactly. Usually they call it guidance or outlook the that's the forward-looking projection. And if you see a company ported, a beat on earnings last quarter, and yet they're going down, don't understand why go check out some guidance, go look for some outlook.
Maybe their projections for the future have been cut back a little bit. Maybe they're. They're expecting something worse than what the street is expecting. That tends to be a better indicator of why something is moving. Like that guidance is a good thing to look for immediately after earnings Steve.
So where can users find this information? They were doing a lot of the information for users on Benzing pro you can tune into your newsfeed, turn on the BZ wire, and those will be the headlines. You are seeing, coming from human reporters on the Benzinga team, but Steve, like where are we getting our information from?
So companies are reporting straight through press releases, or sec filings. They're going to release them basically starting at four o'clock and all the way through five o'clock every day. Five minutes, 10 minutes. We're going to get batches of press releases coming in, and our reporters are going to be scanning through these reporting earnings, guidance, buybacks M and A's restructuring rebranding.
The, these are when companies will we'll announce that kind of stuff. The press releases. That's the raw information that companies are choosing to disclose in a fair manner, the information that they view as material to investors. And again, the Benzinga pro reporters are sifting through all of that information to get you some of the headlines stuff that we think is the most important.
But if you do. Look in those press releases. Look in those sec filings on your own. You can also find that information in Benzinga pro. If you go to the newsfeed, there's a button that says sources and you can turn on press releases. You can turn on sec finds and you can get some of that raw information on your own.
If. Yeah. And another great way to is the details tool. I use this all the time. The details tool has a tab that's just for sec filings. One is just for press releases. One is just for BZ wire. So if you're looking to see you just want to see press releases on Norwegian cruise line. You can go to the details type in NCLR and click that press release button.
And you can see in real time when that's going to come in or you click the. You know how you can have all tab, click, and you can see when it comes in, when we report, when benzinga.com written article about it. So you can stay up to date on if you're watching one particular stock details is a great place, a great hub to go to watch that one stock love it.
I love it. Good little tip there, Steve, for the users that pretty much wraps it up. Ladies and gentlemen, these are going to be quick little podcasts, not more than 10 minutes. We'll get you the information that'll prep your day, and then we'll get you on your way to get your trading done for the day. And that'll be it for us today, ladies and gentlemen, everyone have a great trading day.
