Surprise! It's a beat.
Today, Fool.com editor Austin Smith reviews a Factset earnings insight report and sheds some light on what two huge earnings beats show.
One is from fallen angel Netflix (NFLX 1.74%) which lost investor support after its Qwikster debacle, though the mess overshadowed a strong fundamental business.
The second is from PulteGroup (PHM -0.80%) which could indicate a housing market ready to take off.
