Looking for a stock that might be in a good position to beat earnings at its next report? Consider BPC Acquisition Corp. (BERY - Free Report) , a firm in the Containers - Paper and Packaging industry, which could be a great candidate for another beat.

This company has seen a nice streak of beating earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. In fact, in these reports, BERY has beaten estimates by at least 10% in both cases, suggesting it has a nice short-term history of crushing expectations.

Earnings in Focus

Two quarters ago, BERY was expected to post 67 cents per share, while it actually produced 79 cents per share, a beat of 17.9%. Meanwhile, for the most recent quarter, the company looked to deliver 83 cents per share, when it actually saw 93 cents per share instead, representing a 12.1% positive surprise.

Thanks in part to this history, recent estimates have been moving higher for BPC Acquisition Corp. In fact, the Earnings ESP for BERY is positive, which is a great sign of a coming beat.

After all, the Zacks Earnings ESP compares the most accurate estimate to the broad consensus, looking to find stocks that have seen big revisions as of late, suggesting that analysts have recently become more bullish on the company’s earnings prospects. This is the case for BERY, as the firm currently has a Zacks Earnings ESP of 4.50%, so another beat could be around the corner.

This is particularly true when you consider that BERY has a great Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), which can be a harbinger of outperformance and a signal for a strong earnings profile. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
