More than a dozen companies could see their stocks make outsized moves when they report their latest earnings this week, based on current options trading tied to their underlying shares. This earnings season has been a strong one thus far. But several media, consumer staples and technology companies, including Beyond Meat and CoreWeave , could see volatile trading in their stocks after reporting their latest quarter results. CNBC Pro screened for stocks that with the largest options-implied, anticipated moves this week. The screen identified such candidates by taking 85% of the total premium of an at-the-money straddle and calculating the resulting price movement. Here are two stocks that could soon post large gains or losses after their next financials. Beyond Meat The plant-based meat alternative company’s stock could rise or fall by as much as 30% after it posts its financial results late Tuesday. Analysts estimate Beyond Meat will lose 40 cents a share on revenue of $69 million in the third quarter, FactSet data shows. Earlier this month, Beyond Meat pushed back its third-quarter earnings report, attributing the delay to the need to calculate a noncash impairment charge for some long-lived assets. The company’s shares have fallen about 65% since the beginning of the year. Beyond has lost money in each of the past five years, and its stock has suffered. But shares briefly more than doubled to nearly $8 at one point last month, pushed higher by a meme-fueled trading frenzy that followed the stock’s addition to the Roundhill Meme Stock ETF , before the stock eventually fell back to earth. CoreWeave The artificial intelligence infrastructure provider could move as much as 14% in either direction after posting earnings results on Monday. Analysts expect CoreWeave to report a loss of 40 cents per share on sales of almost $1.29 billion, according to FactSet. The New Jersey-based company has soared 105% in the past six months after going public in March, helped by the cloud computing company’s multi-billion-dollar deals with Nvidia and Meta Platforms . More recently, however, CoreWeave has tumbled 24% in the past month, partly out of concern about the sustainability of BigTech companies’ AI-related spending and partly due to investor questions surrounding high stock valuations. CoreWeave sells for 13.5 times the past year’s sales, according to FactSet data, although price-to-sales drops to 10x looking at calendar 2025 and 4.3 for 2026, based on analysts’ forward estimates.
