Why settle for ordinary quarterly reports?
Every week, I look at three companies that have trounced market expectations, since I believe that having done so is the biggest factor in a stock's beating the market. Leaving Wall Street's pros with quizzical looks usually means 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 GameStop
Some retailers, such as Chico's FAS
Burger King
Rising food costs are a challenge for the industry, but the burger chains, such as McDonald's
Heinz
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 30-day trial subscription.
Either way, come back next Monday to learn about more stocks that blew the market away.
