Looking for Stocks with Positive Earnings Momentum? Check Out These 2 Computer and Technology Names
Wall Street watches a company’s quarterly report closely to understand as much as possible about its recent performance and what to expect going forward. Of course, one figure often stands out among the rest: earnings.
Life and the stock market are both about expectations, and rising above what is expected is often rewarded, while falling short can come with negative consequences. Investors might want to try to capture stronger returns by finding positive earnings surprises.

The Zacks Earnings ESP, or Expected Surprise Prediction, aims to find earnings surprises by focusing on the most recent analyst revisions. The basic premise is that if an analyst reevaluates their earnings estimate ahead of an earnings release, it means they likely have new information that could possibly be more accurate. The core of the ESP model is comparing the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate, where the resulting percentage difference between the two equals the Expected Surprise Prediction.
The final step today is to look at a stock that meets our ESP qualifications. HP (HPQ) earns a Zacks Rank #3 24 days from its next quarterly earnings release on May 26, 2022, and its Most Accurate Estimate comes in at $1.07 a share.
By taking the percentage difference between the $1.07 Most Accurate Estimate and the $1.06 Zacks Consensus Estimate, HP has an Earnings ESP of 0.78%.
HPQ is part of a big group of Computer and Technology stocks that boast a positive ESP, and investors may want to take a look at PTC Inc. (PTC) as well.
PTC Inc. is a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) stock, and is getting ready to report earnings on July 27, 2022. PTC’s Most Accurate Estimate sits at $1.02 a share 86 days from its next earnings release.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for PTC Inc. is $0.99, and when you take the percentage difference between that number and its Most Accurate Estimate, you get the Earnings ESP figure of 2.32%.
HPQ and PTC’s positive ESP metrics may signal that a positive earnings surprise for both stocks is on the horizon.
