ROFIN-SINAR (RSTI - Snapshot Report) earnings continue to bulge, with analysts expecting them to nearly double this year.

This Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) also has a great history of beating expectations and is on a clear path higher.

Company Description

ROFIN-SINAR makes industrial lasers for more than 4,000 customers around the world.

Estimates Soaring

Back in early December ROFIN-SINAR was featured as a Zacks Rank buy and looked good. Since then the full-year earnings estimates have swelled even further.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2011 is now $2.07, up from $1.58 since the original feature. Next year's forecasts are averaging $2.42, up from $1.99. Those levels mean analysts expect EPS to grow 99% this year and another 17% next year.

Another Earnings Surprise

ROFIN-SINAR's latest quarterly surprise came on Feb 3 and was the company's fifth consecutive quarter of estimate-topping results. Earnings per share came in at $0.51, which was 6 cents better than the Zacks Consensus Estimate was calling for.

Net sales for the period were up 48%, to $137.1 million. The bulging top line led to a 315% jump in net income, to $14.9 million.

RSTI's CEO went on to say, "We believe that the recovering global macroeconomic climate and our backlog, which is one of the highest in our Company's history, provide us with a solid basis for the upcoming quarter."

The Chart

Looking at the multi-colored lines below, each representing an annual consensus estimate, you can see the slow, but steady earnings recovery. Earnings expectations are growing both year over year, and throughout each year.
