Stocks including Tesla , Netflix and General Motors are among the largest companies in the market that could see sharp swings this week on the back of their quarterly earnings reports. Earnings are revving up this week, and investors are keeping a close eye on results that could be the catalyst to keep markets churning higher. After the first week of the third-quarter earnings season, 76% of the 58 companies in the S & P 500 that have posted results so far have beaten earnings expectations, exceeding the first-week average of 68% and slightly higher than last quarter’s 73% figure, according to Bank of America. Looking at forecast moves based on options market pricing, CNBC Pro screened for companies whose stocks could see large losses or gains this week after reporting results. Take a look below for the list of stocks with strong potential moves ahead: Netflix, up 40% this year, reports results Tuesday after the market closes, and could see shares move 6.9% as a result. The stock rallied nearly 4% in Monday trading. Bernstein Research analyst Laurent Yoon said that Netflix’s mixed second-quarter results have led to “muted investor sentiment” throughout the third quarter and kept shares range bound between $1,150 and $1,250. “We remain generally positive on the upcoming print and full-year outlook, though an overhang persists around Netflix’s need to further diversify its content portfolio,” Yoon wrote in a Monday note to clients. His $1,390 price target on dominant streaming platform suggests the stock can gain about 12.6% from its last close of $1,199.36 per share. Tesla, which has lagged the market with a less than 10% year-to-date advance, is also likely to react to earnings. Shares of the electric vehicle maker and robotics company, could swing 7.1% in either direction after reporting results on Wednesday. Ahead of the report, Wedbush reiterated an outperform rating on Tesla and said Elon Musk’s flagship company “will report its FY3Q25 earnings with incremental positivity around this quarter’s results with the deliveries beat led by some pull-forward EV demand (U.S. tax credit ending) and a relative bounce back in China sales.” Tesla revenue in the second quarter weakened for a second straight three-month period, as sales continued to suffer from increased EV competition. In the third quarter just ended, Tesla is expected to post a year-over-year earnings decline of more than 20%, according to FactSet. TSLA 1Y mountain Tesla stock performance over the past year. General Motors, Intel and semiconductor equipment maker Lam Research , and air carriers American Airlines and Southwest Airlines are also likely to see wide swings based on what the options market is saying. Intel has an expected move of 10.1% in either direction — one of the largest in the screen — on the back of its report due Thursday. Shares of Intel have nearly doubled in 2025, soaring 65% in just the past three months, after the Trump administration took a 10% stake in the chipmaker in August and Nvidia said in mid-September it will invest $5 billion in Intel in a deal to co-develop data center and PC chips. Although momentum has been strong leading up to the earnings report, Intel shares declined after its last three earnings releases, including an 8% drop following its second-quarter print.
