Want Better Returns? Don't Ignore These 2 Finance Stocks Set to Beat Earnings

Zacks Equity Research
·2 分鐘文章

Earnings are arguably the most important single number on a company's quarterly financial report. Wall Street clearly dives into all of the other metrics and management's input, but the EPS figure helps cut through all the noise.

The earnings figure itself is key, but a beat or miss on the bottom line can sometimes be just as, if not more, important. Therefore, investors should consider paying close attention to these earnings surprises, as a big beat can help a stock climb even higher.

2 Stocks to Add to Your Watchlist

The Zacks Earnings ESP is more formally known as the Expected Surprise Prediction, and it aims to grab the inside track on the latest analyst estimate revisions ahead of a company's report. The idea is relatively intuitive as a newer projection might be based on more complete information. The ESP is calculated by comparing the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate, with the percentage difference between the two giving us the Zacks ESP figure.

The final step today is to look at a stock that meets our ESP qualifications. Pebblebrook Hotel (PEB) earns a Zacks Rank #3 29 days from its next quarterly earnings release on July 24, 2024, and its Most Accurate Estimate comes in at $0.63 a share.

By taking the percentage difference between the $0.63 Most Accurate Estimate and the $0.60 Zacks Consensus Estimate, Pebblebrook Hotel has an Earnings ESP of 4.65%.

PEB is just one of a large group of Finance stocks with a positive ESP figure. Annaly Capital Management (NLY) is another qualifying stock you may want to consider.

Annaly Capital Management is a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock, and is getting ready to report earnings on July 24, 2024. NLY's Most Accurate Estimate sits at $0.67 a share 29 days from its next earnings release.

Annaly Capital Management's Earnings ESP figure currently stands at 2.29% after taking the percentage difference between its Most Accurate Estimate and its Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.66.

PEB and NLY's positive ESP figures tell us that both stocks have a good chance at beating analyst expectations in their next earnings report.
