Have you been eager to see how The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BK - Free Report) performed in Q1 in comparison with the market expectations? Let’s quickly scan through the key facts from this New York-based financial services company’s earnings release this morning:

Earnings

BNY Mellon came out with adjusted earnings of 80 cents per share, up 9.5% from the prior year quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate of 80 cents. Earnings in the reported quarter excluded 3 cents per share of tax benefit related to new accounting guidance for stock awards.

Rise in revenues was the primary reason for improved earnings.

How Was the Estimate Revision Trend?

BNY Mellon has a decent earnings surprise history. The company delivered positive surprises in three of the trailing four quarters, with an average beat of 5%.

Revenues

What Zacks Rank Says

The estimate revisions that we discussed earlier have driven a Zacks Rank #3(Hold) for BNY Mellon. However, since the latest earnings performance is yet to be reflected in the estimate revisions, the rank is subject to change. While things apparently look favorable, it all depends on what sense the just-released report makes to the analysts.

Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?  

Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.

With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.

It's not the one you think.
