Don't settle for ordinary quarterly reports.
Every week I take a look at three companies that beat market expectations, 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 SUPERVALU
Things aren't perfect at SUPERVALU. Sales and comparable-store sales both slipped during the period. It still posted a loss for the entire fiscal year. Cheap-chic department store chain Target
Mattress Firm
JPMorgan Chase
