For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – November 18, 2024 – Stocks in this week’s article are NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA - Free Report) , Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM - Free Report) and Arista Networks, Inc. (ANET - Free Report) .
NVIDIA, Qualcomm and 1 Other Stock with Solid Earnings Growth
The S&P 500 recently topped the 6000 mark, banking on the post-election rally. The possibility of reducing corporate taxes and deregulation under President-elect Donald Trump’s administration buoyed investors’ sentiment. October’s in-line inflation data also raised hopes of further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, a boon for the stock market.
Therefore, it’s prudent for investors to place their bets on the S&P 500 stocks that exhibit strong earnings growth and can take advantage of the overall bullish trend. After all, if the company doesn’t make money, it won’t survive. Earnings are also considered the most important variable influencing share prices. But, expectations of earnings play a striking role.
To that end, NVIDIA Corp., Qualcomm Inc. and Arista Networks, Inc. are currently exhibiting superb earnings growth.
Earnings Estimates & Share Price Movements
Frequently, we have seen the stock price decline despite earnings growth and a rally in price following an earnings decline. This is largely the result of a company’s earnings failing to meet market expectations.
Earnings estimates embody analysts’ opinions on factors such as sales growth, product demand, competitive industry environment, profit margins, and cost control. Thus, earnings estimates serve as a valuable tool, while making investment decisions. Earnings estimates aid analysts in evaluating cash flow to determine a firm’s fair value.
Thus, investors should watch for stocks primed for significant growth. Hence, investors need to buy stocks with historical earnings growth and are seeing a rise in quarterly and annual earnings estimates.
We use that basis to determine our stock selections using Zack’s Research Wizard Tool.
