Some stocks set to report quarterly results next week could be poised for a noteworthy move going by their history. Specifically, we looked for stocks that have surpassed earnings per share forecasts, on average, at least 75% of the time. Then we further culled the list by looking for stocks that also posted at least a 2% move, on average, following that beat. Datadog has an unblemished record of surpassing analyst estimates for quarterly results, and has seen its stock move up nearly 4% following earnings. Other names on the list reporting results next week include Fabrinet and Trex .

Google is trying to make cloud computing more affordable with a custom-built Arm -based server chip. With the new Arm-based chip, Google is playing catch-up with rivals such as Amazon and Microsoft, which have been employing a similar strategy for years. Google has used Arm-based server computers for internal purposes to run YouTube advertising, the BigTable and Spanner databases and the BigQuery data analytics tool. Arm chips, which are popular in smartphones, offer a shorter set of instructions than x86 chips, which are commonly found in PCs. Axion offers 30% better performance than the fastest general-purpose Arm-based virtual machines in the cloud and 50% better performance than than comparable VMs based on x86, Google said.

Options volumes and prices have skyrocketed since, but they're not betting the stock will do the same. Some options traders believe that the already hard hit stock could fall further. One of the most active single-stock options so far this week are those of Datadog (DDOG) , which reported earnings on Tuesday. A put seller is willing to get long the underlying stock at the strike price should it fall below that level by expiration. Options premiums in DDOG were high going into earnings, but not high enough as the sharp move higher illustrated.
