4 Stocks to Watch Now for Superb Earnings Acceleration
From top brass to research analysts, almost everyone in the investment world is captivated by earnings growth. This is because earnings are a measure of the money a company is making. Still, earnings acceleration works better when it comes to lifting the stock price.
Studies have shown that most successful stocks have seen an acceleration in earnings before an uptick in the stock price. Some of the notable companies to have witnessed solid earnings acceleration as of now are nCino, Constellation Energy Corp., Brookfield Renewable Partners and Marathon Digital.
Earnings acceleration, in fact, is the incremental growth in a company’s earnings per share (EPS). In other words, if the rate of a company’s quarter-over-quarter earnings growth increases within a stipulated frame of time, it can be called earnings acceleration.
In case of earnings growth, you pay for something that is already reflected in the stock price. But earnings acceleration helps spot stocks that haven’t yet caught the attention of investors. Once secured, it will invariably lead to a rally in the share price. This is because earnings acceleration considers both the direction and magnitude of growth rates.
An increasing percentage of earnings growth means that the company is fundamentally sound and has been on the right track for a considerable period. Meanwhile, a sideways percentage of earnings growth indicates a period of consolidation or slowdown, while a decelerating percentage of earnings growth may sometimes drag prices down.
The above criteria narrowed down the universe of around 7,735 stocks to only eight. Here are the four stocks to keep an eye on:
nCino is a provider of cloud-based software for financial institutions. NCNO’s expected earnings growth rate for the current year is 628.6%. The company currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 (Strong Buy) Rank stocks here.
