Read MoreHide Full Article
Investors are certainly hoping Nvidia (NVDA - Free Report) can post strong Q4 results later this week, but in the meantime, several other top-rated Zacks stocks are standing out after exceeding EPS expectations on Monday.
Reconfirming their growth trajectories, these top stocks are trading at or near 52-week highs with more upside appearing to be ahead.
They also offer exposure to a variety of sectors, making them worthy candidates for portfolio diversification.
Allison Transmission Holdings – ALSN
Zacks Rank #2 (Buy)
Stock Price: $121
The leading manufacturer of fully-automated transmissions for medium and heavy-duty vehicles posted Q4 EPS of $1.70, topping expectations of $1.56 by 9% despite dipping from $2.01 per share a year ago.
Allison Transmission Holdings' (ALSN - Free Report) full-year EPS was slightly down to $8.21 in FY25, but is projected to rebound and spike 18% this year to $9.68.
Plus, ALSN trades at an attractive 12X forward earnings multiple and has a respectable annual dividend yield that’s edging toward 1%.

BWX Technologies – BWXT
Zacks Rank #2 (Buy)
Stock Price: $204
Having a rather unique niche as a supplier of precision-manufactured components and services to the commercial nuclear power industry, BWX Technologies’ (BWXT - Free Report) Q4 EPS of $1.08 impressively beat estimates of $0.91 by nearly 19% and was up from $0.92 per share in the comparative quarter.
There is a noticeable earnings premium to the broader market, with BWXT having a forward P/E multiple of 46X, although this is near its Zacks industry average. To that point, investor sentiment remains high for aerospace and defense equipment stocks amid increased geopolitical tensions, not to mention nuclear power is starting to intersect with the growing energy needs for AI.
BWX’s full-year EPS was up 20% to $4.01, with annual earnings expected to rise another 6% in FY26. Furthermore, BWX has started to reward investors with a 0.5% dividend, which it has increased in each of the last five years.
