These stocks are expected to see the biggest setbacks in earnings in 2021, when the economy reopens

As companies emerge from the economic aftermath of the pandemic, Wall Street is aiming for a significant rebound in earnings, with a handful of companies seeing the biggest rebounds in the new year.

The earnings season started last week, and US companies are already reporting great achievements for the final quarter of 2020. This gives Wall Street confidence that earnings growth will increase even further in 2021 as companies emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic.

To identify the stocks with the greatest earnings potential, CNBC searched for the S&P 500 stocks with the largest expected profit jump in 2021, using analyst estimates gathered by FactSet.

The list only includes stocks with a 60% or more Buy recommendation from Wall Street companies.
