Don't settle for ordinary quarterly reports.
Every week, I take a look at three companies that beat market expectations, 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 Mosaic
But Mosaic's strong showing wasn't enough to escape an analyst downgrade. Citi prefers the faster growth and comparable valuation of CF Industries
Shares of Xyratex
Xyratex's fiscal-fourth-quarter profit of $0.73 a share was more than twice the $0.33 a share that Wall Street was forecasting.
Finally we have Landec
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.
