Don't settle for ordinary quarterly reports.

I take a look at three companies that beat market expectations every week, since I believe that it's the biggest factor in a stock beating the market. Leaving Wall Street's pros with stunned expressions can be a good thing. It usually means that the companies have more in the tank than analysts figured. Capital appreciation typically follows.

Let's take a look at a few companies that humbled the pros over the past few trading days.

We can start with 7 Days (Nasdaq: SVN). The fast-growing lodging provider in China checked in with an adjusted profit of $0.70 a share, blowing past analysts targeting $0.48 a share in earnings. All three of the publicly traded Chinese hospitality specialists reported last week, but 7 Days was the only winner. Rivals Home Inns & Hotels (Nasdaq: HMIN) and China Lodging Group (Nasdaq: HTHT) actually posted quarterly results that fell woefully short of Wall Street forecasts.  

China Automotive Systems (Nasdaq: CAAS) also drove ahead of the market. The supplier of power steering components and systems did post a small dip in net sales and a slightly larger decline in net income, but its $0.19 a share showing on the bottom line was well ahead of the $0.15-a-share mark where Mr. Market was parked.

This one is truly a refreshing surprise, since China Automotive had come up short on the bottom line in its four previous quarterly reports.

Finally, we have 3SBio (Nasdaq: SSRX) on the move. The provider of cost-effective research, development, manufacturing, and distribution of pharmaceutical products came through with a blowout quarter, fueled by a 38% surge in net revenue.

Wall Street was aggressive here, expecting profitability to nearly triple. Well, 3SBio's net earnings of $0.16 a share actually more than tripled last year's $0.05 a share showing.
