A slate of companies with a track record of beating Wall Street’s earnings expectations are on deck to report next week – and their stocks could see a bounce. Earnings season is well underway, with several major banks reporting their results last week. Looking ahead, several companies with histories of beating analysts’ estimates will issue their quarterly reports next week, including Western Alliance and F5. They span sectors such as banking, technology and health care. CNBC Pro screened Bespoke Investment Group data for names that have beaten earnings expectations at least 75% of the time, while averaging a gain of at least 1.5% in the next trading session following results.

Western Alliance The regional bank may be set to surpass analysts’ estimates for its fourth-quarter report , which will come out on Monday.
