Key Takeaways

To assess earnings, examine the difference between revenues and production expenses. The growth of earnings is vital for every business, as survival depends on being profitable. Earnings are regarded as the primary factor influencing stock prices. However, expectations of earnings play a significant role. 

Currently, companies such as NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA - Free Report) , AppLovin Corporation (APP - Free Report) and GE Aerospace (GE - Free Report) are showing exceptional growth in earnings. 

Earnings Estimates & Share Price Movements 

Frequently, 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 while making investment decisions. Earnings estimates also help analysts assess the cash flow to determine the fair value of a firm. 

Thus, investors should be on the lookout for stocks ready to make a big move. Hence, investors need to buy stocks with historical earnings growth and are seeing a rise in quarterly and annual earnings estimates.

Screening Measures Using Research Wizard: 

To shortlist stocks that have striking earnings growth and positive estimate revisions, we have added the following parameters: 

Zacks Rank less than or equal to 3 (Only Zacks’ ‘Strong Buys’, ‘Buys’, and ‘Holds’ are allowed. With the Zacks Rank proving itself to be one of the best rating systems out there, this is a great way to start things off.)

% Change EPS F(0)/F(-1) greater than or equal to 5 (companies that saw year-over-year earnings growth of 5% or more in the last reported fiscal). 

% Change Q1 Estimates over the last 4 weeks greater than zero (stocks that have seen their current quarter earnings estimates revised higher in the last 4 weeks).

% Change F1 Estimates over the last 4 weeks greater than zero (stocks that have seen their annual earnings estimates revised higher in the last 4 weeks).
