Will JinkoSolar (JKS) Crush Estimates at Its Next Earnings Report? - Tale of the Tape

Looking for a stock that might be in a good position to beat earnings at its next report? Consider JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. JKS, a firm in the Solar industry, which could be a great candidate for another beat.

This company has seen a nice streak of beating earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. In fact, in these reports, JKS has beaten estimates by at least 290% in both cases, suggesting it has a nice short-term history of crushing expectations.

Earnings in Focus

Two quarters ago, JKS expected to earn 35 cents per share, while it actually produced earnings of $1.36 per share, a beat of 288.6%. Meanwhile, for the most recent quarter, the company looked to deliver earnings of 86 cents a share, when it actually saw earnings of $1.31 per share instead, representing an 52.3% positive surprise.

Thanks in part to this history, recent estimates have been moving higher for JinkoSolar. In fact, the Earnings ESP for JKS is positive, which is a great sign of a coming beat.

After all, the Zacks Earnings ESP compares the most accurate estimate to the broad consensus, looking to find stocks that have seen big revisions as of late, suggesting that analysts have recently become more bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This is the case for JKS, as the firm currently has a Zacks Earnings ESP of 41.86%, so another beat could be around the corner.

This is particularly true when you consider that JKS has a great Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which can be a harbinger of outperformance and a signal for a strong earnings profile. And when you add this solid Zacks Rank to a positive Earnings ESP, a positive earnings surprise happens nearly 70% of the time, so it seems pretty likely that JKS could see another beat at its next report, especially if recent trends are any guide.
