Little Margin of Safety Going into Tuesday

. 2 min read

11 stocks reporting earnings Tuesday have a negative margin of safety.

The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq all closed higher Monday. Gains have extended from last week where we saw all three indices achieve record highs on Thursday - the first time this has happened since December 1999, according to CNBC.

It may be foolish to suggest stocks are running out of steam as they reach new highs, but finbox.io data shows negative margin of safety for 11 of 16 companies expected to report earnings Tuesday.
