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 this past week.
We can start with Napster
Napster still hasn't silenced skeptics. Shares are trading for less than half of the cash on its balance sheet. Subscription services like Napster and RealNetworks'
Chipotle Mexican Grill
Finally, we have Disney
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.
Disney is a Motley Fool Stock Advisor newsletter selection. Chipotle is a Rule Breakers recommendation, while its B-shares are a Hidden Gems pick. Either newsletter can be yours for the next 30 days with a free trial subscription offer.
