Goldman Sachs has homed in on a list of stocks to pay attention to this earnings season.
The bank highlighted 20 stocks it believes could spike on Q3 results.
“Buy calls to position for a volatile but positive earnings season,” derivatives researchers at the bank wrote.

It’s earnings season once again, and all eyes will surely be on the biggest names in tech — but which under-the-radar names should investors be paying attention to?

Analysts at Goldman Sachs highlighted a list of 20 stocks it believed had strong upside potential heading into earnings. The bank said the list represented the “most out-of-consensus opportunities” for options traders heading into third-quarter results.

US stocks saw the highest level of earnings-related volatility since 2009 last quarter, the analysts said, with expectations for similar swings to come.

“Buy calls to position for a volatile but positive earnings season,” researchers led by John Marshall, the head of derivatives research at the bank, wrote. “Considering all of these factors, we expect above average volatility and above average returns from stocks on events, making call buying unusually attractive.”

Here are the 20 stocks investors should consider buying call option on, according to the bank.
