Earnings Season Watch List: Autonation

Autonation is expected to report earnings on Jul. 19. The stock is now trading 3% below the 107.09 buy point from a third-stage consolidation that it cleared earlier.

Be aware that buying close to when a stock reports is risky. You don't know how the stock will report and how the market will react, and you don't have enough time to build a profit cushion. You can reduce your exposure by waiting to see the actual numbers and the market's reaction.
