Chicago, IL – June 24, 2025 – The stocks in this week’s article are Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. AEM, AptarGroup, Inc. ATR and VICI Properties Inc. VICI.

Top 3 Earnings Growth Stocks for Investment

Earnings growth is essential for any organization, regardless of size, as profitability is vital for survival. To determine earnings, analyze a company’s revenues over a specific period and subtract the production costs. Additionally, earnings significantly influence share prices, with earnings expectations playing a major role.

On that note, Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd., AptarGroup, Inc. and VICI Properties Inc. are demonstrating impressive earnings growth.

Earnings Estimates & Share Price Movements

Frequently, we have 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 reflect analysts’ views on factors such as sales growth, product demand, the competitive industry environment, profit margins and cost control. Consequently, earnings estimates are a valuable tool for making investment decisions. They also assist analysts in evaluating cash flow to determine a firm's fair value.

Thus, investors should be on the lookout for stocks ready to make a big move. Hence, investors need to buy stocks with a history of 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 four. Here are the top three stocks:
