America’s Car-Mart is a big automotive retailer in the United States, operating in the used-car market. The company aims to add dealerships selectively in good communities. Presently, the company operates 143 automotive dealerships in eleven 11 states.

A few other dealership openings are under process. Further, the company continues to invest hugely in infrastructure in order to raise sales and receivable volume.
Earnings Whispers
Our proven model does not conclusively show that America’s Car-Mart is likely to beat on earnings this quarter. This is because a stock needs to have both a positive Earnings ESP and a favorable Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) for this to happen. But that is not the case here as you will see below.
Earnings ESP: America’s Car-Mart has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% as both the Zacks Consensus Estimate and the Most Accurate Estimate are currently pegged at $1.10. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Zacks Rank: America’s Car-Mart currently carries a Zacks Rank #3.
Note that we caution against stocks with a Zacks Rank #4 or 5 (Sell-rated) going into the earnings announcement, especially when the company is witnessing negative estimate revisions.
Stocks to Consider
Here are a few stocks worth considering from the same space, comprising the right combination of elements to come up with an earnings beat this time around:
Meritor, Inc. has an Earnings ESP of +13.30% and is a Zacks #3 Ranked player.
Navistar International Corporation has an Earnings ESP of +0.20% and a Zacks Rank #3.
The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $8 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $47 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
