Don't settle for ordinary quarterly reports.
I take a look at three companies that beat market expectations every week, since I believe that it's the biggest factor in a stock beating the market. Leaving Wall Street's pros with stunned expressions can be a good thing. It usually means that the companies have more in the tank than analysts figured. Capital appreciation typically follows.
Let's take a look at a few companies that humbled the prognosticators over the past few trading days.
We can start with SUPERVALU
It wasn't a perfect showing. Net sales dipped, same-store sales were negative, and SUPERVALU's outlook isn't exactly rosy. However, this is still the third consecutive quarter in which the thrifty retailer has blasted through Wall Street's targets.
Chipotle Mexican Grill
Finally we have Bank of America
It's important to keep watching the companies that surpass expectations. Over time, it will be a lucrative experience for investors as the market rewards the overachievers. That's the kind of surprise that we look for in the Rule Breakers newsletter service. Want in? Check out a 30-day trial subscription.
Either way, come back next Monday to learn about more stocks that blew the market away.
