Investors are always looking for stocks that are poised to beat at earnings season and The Beauty Health Company (SKIN Quick QuoteSKIN - Free Report) may be one such company. The firm has earnings coming up pretty soon, and events are shaping up quite nicely for their report.

That is because Beauty Health is seeing favorable earnings estimate revision activity as of late, which is generally a precursor to an earnings beat.

This suggests that analysts have very recently bumped up their estimates for SKIN, giving the stock a Zacks Earnings ESP of +33.33% heading into earnings season.
