Analysis Reveals the 50 Most Volatile Stocks This Earnings Season

Advertisement

Volatility has been quite low for the last few years. The CBOE Volatility Index, known as the “fear index” or just the VIX, has plummeted from a peak of around 45 in late 2011 to just above 11 currently.

However, just like some individual stocks can soar (or crash) even if the broader market indices remain flat, there are a handful of stocks that are extremely volatile right now as we enter earnings season.

The smart folks over at Bespoke Investment Research have shared a list of their 50 most volatile stocks on earnings, and the list is full of fashionable names including Green Mountain (GMCR), Yelp (YELP), Zynga (ZNGA),  Pandora (P), SolarCity (SCTY) and Netflix (NFLX).

All of these stocks tend to move by double digits around their earnings report. That could add up to amazing gains if you’re on the right side of the trade.

Or, of course, you could lose a bundle in a hurry.
