Every week, I take a look at a few companies that lapped their profit targets. Leaving Wall Street's pros with quizzical looks 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 look at a few companies that humbled the prognosticators this past week.
We can start with iMergent
The company is projecting slower growth in fiscal 2008. It's also being tested -- and even banned in some states -- for its hard-sell seminar tactics. However, the public still loves the prospect of making a mint online, and iMergent is there to dangle the keys.
J. Crew
Finally, we have Casey's General Stores
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.
