Gibraltar Industries (ROCK - Free Report) is a stock that I really like... so why would I profile it on a the Bear of the Day? I see the stock recently beat, so this is a good opportunity to explain why it is a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) and also look forward for future opportunities.
Great Ticker
Before I get to the meat of this article, let's give the due and proper respect to Gibraltar Industries (ROCK - Free Report) for having one of the best tickers in the market. I know there are a few other 'word' tickers, but ROCK is among my favorites.
Description
Gibraltar Industries, Inc. is a leading manufacturer, processor, and distributor of metals and other engineered materials for the building products, vehicular, and other industrial markets.
Earnings History
So the first spot I look is the earnings history, but this looks really good to me:
Earnings Estimates
After seeing a good earnings history, the next step is to look at the earnings estimate revisions.
As we can see there were 2 negative revisions to this quarter, the next quarter, this year and next year as well. That is the major reason why the stock has fallen to a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).
Zacks Consensus
Here is a look at the recent move in the Zacks Consensus Estimate:
We can see that the current quarter slipped by $0.08 and the next quarter fell by $0.04.
Tech stocks have been a major force behind the market’s record highs, but picking the best ones to buy can be tough. There’s a simple way to invest in the success of the entire sector.

More importantly, it reveals 4 top stocks set to skyrocket on increasing demand for these devices. I encourage you to get the report now – before the next wave of innovations really take off.
