Traders looking for ideas in earnings season might want to consider stocks that move heavily after earnings. A pop -- up or down -- can lead to short-term profits if the right direction is picked.

Fortunately, Bespoke Investment Group just released a list of the most volatile S&P 500 stocks by average one-day price change after earnings. In other words, these stocks move the most on average following the release of quarterly results.

The full list is below, but let's take it a step further -- we'll cherry pick the most volatile names coming off EPS beats (or in-line results) in at least three consecutive quarters. No, Netflix, Inc. NFLX didn't make the cut, but these names did:

  • Akamai Technologies, Inc. AKAM: 7 consecutive quarters of EPS beats or meets, 11.7 percent average change after results.
  • Michael Kors Holdings Ltd KORS: 3 consecutive quarters, 10.3 percent average change.
  • Priceline Group Inc PCLN: 6 consecutive quarters, 10 percent average change.
  • Intuitive Surgical, Inc. ISRG: 3 consecutive quarters, 9.2 percent average change.
  • Harman International Industries Inc. HAR: 3 consecutive quarters, 9 percent average change.
  • SanDisk Corporation SNDK: 3 consecutive quarters, 8.2 percent average change.
  • Skyworks Solutions Inc SWKS: 5 consecutive quarters, 8.2 percent average change.
  • Facebook Inc FB: 4 consecutive quarters, 8.1 percent change.
  • F5 Networks, Inc. FFIV: 12 consecutive quarters, 8.1 percent change.
  • Under Armour Inc UA: 36 consecutive quarters, 8 percent change.

A special note: Under Armour hasn't missed earnings estimates since the fourth quarter of 2006, the fourth quarter of its existence as a publicly-traded company.
