Every week, I take a look at a few companies that lapped their profit targets. Leaving Wall Street's pros with quizzical looks on their faces can be a good thing. It usually means that the companies have more in the tank than analysts figured, and capital appreciation often follows.
Let's take a look at a few companies that humbled the prognosticators over the past few trading days.
We can start with Christopher & Banks
Walgreen
Walgreen's financials have been lumpy over the years, though the pharmacy chain has now beaten market expectations in three of the past four quarters.
Finally, we have Red Hat
So, keep watching the companies that lap expectations. Over time, it will be a rewarding experience for investors as the market rewards the overachievers. That's the kind of surprise we look for in the Rule Breakers newsletter service. Want in? Check out a free 30-day trial subscription.
Either way, come back next Monday to learn about more stocks that blew the market away.
