Top 3 Earnings Growth Stocks to Buy Now

To determine earnings, subtract production costs from revenues. Consistent earnings growth is essential for all companies since survival depends on profitability. Earnings are also regarded as the most important factor influencing share prices.

However, expectations of earnings play a significant role. Nonetheless, stocks such as JPMorgan Chase & Co., Commvault Systems, Inc. and Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corp. are currently showing excellent earnings growth.

Earnings Estimates & Share Price Movements

We have frequently seen a decline in stock prices despite earnings growth, followed by a rally in prices after 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 also help analysts assess a firm's cash flow to determine its fair value.

Thus, investors should be on the lookout for stocks ready to make a big move. Hence, investors need to buy stocks with historical earnings growth and are seeing a rise in quarterly and annual earnings estimates.

The above criteria narrowed the universe of around 7,839 stocks to only 16. Here are the top three stocks:
