The market has been moving sideways ever since earnings season began earlier this month, so the staff at BespokeInvest.com shares a list of the stocks that have hit it out of the park ever since, along with those that have struck out.

The market has moved sideways since earnings season began on July 8, but, so far, the average stock that has reported earnings has fallen 0.43% on the first trading day following its report. (For companies that report before the open, we look at that day's change. For companies that report after the close, we use its next day's change.)

While the average stock that has reported earnings has fallen in reaction to its report, some companies have hit it out of the park with earnings, and others have struck out.
