3 Top-Rated Stocks to Invest In for Remarkable Earnings Growth
Study a company's revenues over a given period of time, subtract the cost of production, and you have earnings. Irrespective of whether it is a start-up or an established company, earnings growth is the highest priority for the top brass of any organization. This is because if the company doesn't make money, it won't last over the long haul.
This metric is also considered the most important variable influencing the share price. But, expectations of earnings also play a significant role.
Earnings Estimates & Share Price Movements
Often, we have seen a decline in the stock price despite earnings growth and a rally in price following an earnings decline. This is largely the result of a company's earnings failing to meet market expectations.
Earnings estimates embody analysts' opinions on factors such as sales growth, product demand, competitive industry environment, profit margins and cost control. Thus, earnings estimates serve as a valuable tool when making investment decisions. Earnings estimates also help analysts assess the cash flow to determine the fair value of a firm.
Investors, thus, should be on the lookout for stocks that are ready to make a big move. Hence, it is important for investors to buy stocks that have historical earnings growth and are seeing a rise in quarterly and annual earnings estimates.
The above criteria narrowed down the universe of around 7,839 stocks to only 18. Here are the top three stocks that stand out:
Equinor is one of the premier integrated energy companies in the world, with operations spreading across 30 countries. In Europe, Equinor is the second-largest supplier of natural gas. The company is also a leading seller of crude oil.
PBF Energy is a leading refiner of crude. Through five oil refineries and associated infrastructure in the United States, PBF Energy provides end products that comprise heating oil, transportation fuels, lubricants and many related products.
The company has a Zacks Rank #1. PBF's expected earnings growth rate for the current year is 182%.
Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. is one of the largest independent energy companies in Canada engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas.
Canadian Natural Resources has a Zacks Rank #1. CNQ's expected earnings growth rate for the current year is 45.1%.
