Those reports come at a delicate time for Wall Street. The S & P 500 and Nasdaq Composite fell last week as investors rotated out of technology sector winners in favor of beaten-down small-cap names. On top of that, tech giants Tesla and Alphabet reported disappointing second-quarter figures, leading investors to trim positions in those names. With this in mind, CNBC Pro screened FactSet data to find stocks that could see big moves on the back of their earnings reports. We filtered out for companies with a market cap of at least $1 billion that are set to post calendar second-quarter numbers this week. We then looked at names that could see sharp swings in either direction following those reports, based on options market activity. Here are the names on the list: Snap , which is slated to report its quarterly results Thursday after the bell, has the biggest expected move on the list at 17%. The stock has been down nearly 21% in 2024, losing more than 19% in the past month alone. Shares have been under pressure since former President Donald Trump’s comments earlier this month that he is against a ban on TikTok. Meta Platforms has also fallen since then. “Now [that] I’m thinking about it, I’m for TikTok because you need competition,” Trump said in an interview with Bloomberg. “If you don’t have TikTok, you have This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up and This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up — and that’s, you know, that’s Zuckerberg.” Wall Street is largely neutral on Snap, as 30 of the 42 analysts covering it have a hold rating on the stock, per LSEG. With 10 analysts issuing a buy or strong buy rating, the average price target is roughly $15, which is more than 14% above current levels. Two names in the auto industry, Carvana and Hertz , are the next high-profile stocks on the list with an expected move of 15.1% and 15%, respectively. Carvana reports after the bell on Wednesday, while Hertz releases its results before the open on Thursday. Carvana has had a monster year, with the stock surging more than 140%. Despite the outperformance, JPMorgan analyst Rajat Gupta sees even more upside ahead. Ahead of earnings, the analyst increased the firm’s price target on the stock by $5 to $155, which implies about 16.7% upside from Friday’s close. “We believe the company’s investments in infrastructure/network, including the ADESA physical auction business, are proving to be a long-term competitive advantage that is hard to replicate,” the analyst said in a note earlier this month. “As such, we expect CVNA to continue gaining rapid share while sustaining margins well above peers, which could lead to positive earnings revisions in the medium-term.” Meta , which is set to release its results Wednesday after the bell, closes out the list with a move of 8.3%. While it is the only name on the list with an implied move under 10%, its market cap of more than $1 trillion means there could be broader-market ripples from the move. The Street is primarily bullish on Meta. To be exact, 55 of the 63 analysts covering it have a buy or strong buy rating. Heading into earnings, Wolfe Research analyst Shweta Khajuria expects the company to beat second-quarter estimates and sees more than 33% upside ahead for the stock. While Meta is down more than 6% over the past month, shares are up more than 33% in 2024.
