Traders anxiously wait for the earnings season to make quick gains from the stock price movement, both before and after the earnings announcement. Usually, a company’s stock price reacts, with elevated volume and volatility, both ahead and after a company announces its earnings.

Most experts believe the best way to trade earnings is not to take a position in the earnings release, but to trade the reaction after the release. Also, the use of options to hedge trading risk is a good strategy. Let’s take a look at 10 big companies reporting earnings next week.
