Investors eye earnings data volatility movements as it reflects highest levels in 15 years

Goldman Sachs highlighted a compelling case for investors to stay focused on earnings data scheduled for this week as earnings day movements are at their highest point in 15 years.

“Back to the bull thesis for ‘active management’, the reward for getting earnings day moves right has not been this high in 15 years and expected stock correlation hasn’t been this low for a long time,” Goldman Sachs stated in an investor note over the weekend.

The investment institution went on to add that last quarter, 12% of the stocks inside the benchmark S&P 500 (SP500) moved more than 10% on earnings days, which is more than any other time over the past 15 years.

The note by Goldman Sachs comes out ahead of a trading week that is jam packed with heavyweight names geared up to announce their latest quarterly earnings figures. Highlighted below are 20 names that should draw a lot of attention this week:
