Two Oil and Gas Refining Stocks Poised To Explode on Earnings

Tesoro (TSO) is reporting earnings tonight, Wednesday, July 30th, after market hours. The company beat earnings by 65% the last quarter and has a dividend yield of 1.7%. Earnings are expected to grow 37% over the next three years, but sales only a paltry 3%. If the company can keep surprising on earnings, based on current valuations, the stock could advance another 50 - 100% over the next 12 - 18 months. The stock is forming a first stage flat base on top of much longer cup and handle base. Positions can be initiated as the stock attempts to breakout above the $61 - 63 range. Protective stops should be placed around $57.




Western Refining (WNR) is expected to report earnings on Tuesday, August 5th, before the market opens. The company has beaten earnings over the last two quarters by 7 and 10% and has a dividend yield of 2.4%. The stock is forming a cup and handle base on top of a cup and handle base. The base contains several weeks of tight closes, a sign of major support. Positions can be initiated as the stocks begins to approach the 42.77 handle high. Protective stops should be placed around $41 or the low of the handle. The stock has a technical price target range of $55 - 65. This is a late stage base and will be more prone to failure.
