Today we published our newest Earnings Triple Plays report. During the just-completed Q4 2023 earnings reporting period, there were a total of 78 earnings triple plays out of just under 2,000 individual quarterly earnings reports from US-listed stocks. That’s 44 less than the 122 triple plays we saw during the prior earnings reporting period.
What is a triple play? When a stock reports quarterly earnings, it registers a “triple play” when it beats analyst EPS estimates, beats analyst revenue estimates, and raises forward guidance. We coined the term back in the mid-2000s, and you can read more about it at Investopedia.com. We consider triple plays to be the cream of the crop of earnings season, and we’re constantly finding new long-term opportunities from this basket of names each quarter. You can track the newest earnings triple plays on a daily basis at our Triple Plays page if you’re a Bespoke Premium or Bespoke Institutional member.

In this note we update performance of our “Death By Amazon” and “Amazon Survivors” indices. The index of stocks that are exposed to Amazon’s business model have traded more or less in lock step with the market over the past two years. That’s a big contrast with the prior decade when they either outperformed or underperformed pretty dramatically.
The same can’t be said for our “Amazon Survivors” names which are intended to capture stocks which are resilient to the rise of Amazon’s monster e-commerce business despite competing with it. This index has generally outperformed the market as a whole.
Both flavors of index have outperformed Amazon significantly over the past five months or so. During that period, the market has broadly rallied even though large tech names like Amazon have sunk to the lowest levels of the equity bear market.
Our “Death By Amazon” index was created many years ago to provide investors with a list of retailers we view as vulnerable to competition from e-commerce. In 2016, we also created our “Amazon Survivors” index which is made up of companies that look more capable of dealing with the threat from online shopping. To see how the two indices have been performing lately and view the full list of stocks that make up the indices, please read our newest report on the subject available to Bespoke Premium and Bespoke Institutional members.
