Read MoreHide Full Article

The overall earnings scenario has been quite encouraging this season. With most of the companies having already announced their quarterly numbers, this quarter is on track to be the first quarter of positive earnings growth after five consecutive quarters of decline. With key players scheduled to report earnings this week, our latest Earnings Preview now predicts earnings growth of 3% year over year on 1.5% higher revenues. Moreover, we expect the trend to continue in the upcoming quarters.

Let us take a look at some telecom stocks that are expected to post their quarterly numbers on Nov 10.

Acacia Communications, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures and markets communication equipment. This Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stock will be posting its third-quarter 2016 results. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Meanwhile, Acacia Communications has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%.This is because both the Most Accurate estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate are pegged at 70 cents. According to our proven model, a company needs the right combination of two key ingredients – a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better – to increase the odds of an earnings surprise. Thus, Acacia Communications is not likely to beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate this quarter. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Clearfield, Inc. (CLFD - Free Report) , designer and manufacturer of the FieldSmart fiber management platform, will report fourth-quarter fiscal 2016 results. Clearfield has a combination of a Zacks Rank #3 and an Earnings ESP of 0.00% (the Most Accurate estimate and Zacks Consensus Estimate are at 12 cents). Though the company’s Zacks Rank #3 increases the predictive power of ESP, its 0.00% ESP makes surprise prediction difficult.
