Investors might want to bet on Rollins (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rol#NYSE">ROL</a>), as it has been recently upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). An upward trend in earnings estimates -- one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices -- has triggered this rating change.
A company&#39;s changing earnings picture is at the core of the Zacks rating. The system tracks the Zacks Consensus Estimate -- the consensus measure of EPS estimates from the sell-side analysts covering the stock -- for the current and following years.
Individual investors often find it hard to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts, since these are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time. In these situations, the Zacks rating system comes in handy because of the power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements.
Therefore, the Zacks rating upgrade for Rollins basically reflects positivity about its earnings outlook that could translate into buying pressure and an increase in its stock price.
Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock Prices
The change in a company&#39;s future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, and the near-term price movement of its stock are proven to be strongly correlated. The influence of institutional investors has a partial contribution to this relationship, as these big professionals use earnings and earnings estimates to calculate the fair value of a company&#39;s shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their bulk investment action then leads to price movement for the stock.
For Rollins, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade fundamentally mean an improvement in the company&#39;s underlying business. And investors&#39; appreciation of this improving business trend should push the stock higher.
Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate Revisions
As empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, tracking such revisions for making an investment decision could be truly rewarding. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
Earnings Estimate Revisions for Rollins
This operator of Orkin and other pest and termine control services is expected to earn $1.01 per share for the fiscal year ending December 2024, which represents a year-over-year change of 12.2%.
Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for Rollins. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 1.2%.
Bottom Line
Unlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of &#39;buy&#39; and &#39;sell&#39; ratings for its entire universe of more than 4000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a &#39;Strong Buy&#39; rating and the next 15% get a &#39;Buy&#39; rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.
The upgrade of Rollins to a Zacks Rank #2 positions it in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks in terms of estimate revisions, implying that the stock might move higher in the near term.

12 Industrials Stocks Moving In Thursday's Pre-Market Session

Core &amp; Main (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cnm#NYSE">CNM</a>) will report its fiscal 2024 first-quarter results on Jun 4, before market open.
Let us check out how CNM has lately been doing.
<div class="chart_embed">
<h3>Core &amp; Main, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise</h3>
<a href="https://www.zacks.com/stock/chart/CNM/price-eps-surprise?icid=chart-CNM-price-eps-surprise"><img alt="Core &amp; Main, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/charts/b2/1716903501.png" style="height:266px; width:537px" title="" /> </a>
Core &amp; Main, Inc. price-eps-surprise | Core &amp; Main, Inc. Quote
</div>
<h3>Stock Performance &amp; Valuation</h3>
The company&#39;s shares have surged 76.4% over the past six months, outperforming the 21.6% rally of the industry it belongs to and the 16.5% rise of the Zacks S&amp;P 500 composite.
Based on EV-to-EBITDA, CNM is currently trading at 19.06X compared with the industry&#39;s 12.43X. If we look at the Price/Earnings ratio, CNM shares currently trade at 22.69X forward earnings, below the industry&#39;s 26.98X.
<h3>FY23 Sales &amp; Margin Performances</h3>
CNM&#39;s fiscal 2023 revenues amounted to $6.7 billion, a marginal rise on a year-over-year basis. The rise in the top line was driven by geographic expansion, product line expansion and local share gains.
The gross margin of 27.1% increased 20 basis points in fiscal 2023. An operating margin of 11.1% was reported. The strong margin performance was driven by pricing analytics, sourcing optimization, private label and operational excellence.
<h3>4Q23 Liquidity</h3>
CNM&#39;s current ratio (a measure of liquidity) was 2.29 at the end of fiscal 2023 fourth-quarter, lower than the preceding quarter&#39;s 2.36 and the year-ago quarter&#39;s 3.05. Although it declined, a current ratio of more than 1 often indicates that a company will easily pay off its short-term obligations.
<h3>Sales &amp; EPS Estimates</h3>
For fiscal 2024 first-quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.72 billion, indicating a 9.3% year-over-year rise. The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at 51 cents per share, suggesting a 2% decline from the year-ago reported figure.
For fiscal 2024, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for CNM&#39;s revenues is pegged at $7.54 billion, suggesting 12.6% year-over-year growth. The consensus estimate for earnings stands at $2.59 per share, implying 20.5% year-over-year growth.
<h3>To Conclude</h3>
CNM trades at a premium relative to its industry based on EV to EBITDA. The company&#39;s liquidity position remains healthy but the declining trend is concerning.
Moreover, since the company&#39;s shares have gained a whopping 76.4% over the past six months, it may undergo a correction soon.
Also, CNM does not seem poised for an earnings beat. Per our quantitative model, the combination of two key elements &mdash; a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better &mdash; increases the odds of a positive earnings surprise. But that is not the case with CNM, as it has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% and a Zacks Rank #3 at present.
Given this backdrop, it may not be a bad idea to wait for this fundamentally strong stock to undergo some correction and offer a better entry point rather than rushing to purchase the stock before earnings.
<h3>Earnings Snapshot</h3>

<h3>Illuminating the Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
It's important to note that insider transactions alone should not dictate investment decisions, but they can provide valuable insights.
Within the legal framework, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as per Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
The initiation of a new purchase by a company insider serves as a strong indication that they expect the stock to rise.
However, insider sells may not always signal a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
<h3>Unlocking the Meaning of Transaction Codes</h3>
For <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a>, a primary focus lies on transactions occurring in the open market, as indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Rollins: Solid Organic Growth Outlook

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
As the dark clouds of a potential recession loom on the horizon, investors are scrambling to find safe havens for their hard-earned money. While it&rsquo;s true that most stocks tend to suffer during economic downturns, there are always a few outliers that manage to defy the odds and emerge stronger than ever.



However, before you rush to invest in the first &ldquo;recession-proof&rdquo; stock you come across, let me offer a word of caution. Just because a company weathered the storm in the past doesn&rsquo;t guarantee it will do so again. The market is an unpredictable beast, and past performance is no guarantee of future results.



That being said, there are certain companies out there with business models so solid and recession-resistant that they&rsquo;re worth considering as potential portfolio defenders. These are the rare gems that could surprise investors by continuing to rise even as the rest of the market tumbles.



In the current environment, with macroeconomic indicators screaming recession and rate cuts potentially pushing us over the edge, I believe it&rsquo;s more important than ever to seek out these resilient stocks. History has shown that rate cuts can be the catalyst that tips us into a full-blown recession, as we saw during the Great Recession. That may or may not happen again, but it&rsquo;s worth keeping these stocks on your watchlist:



<h2>McDonald&rsquo;s (MCD)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/mcd-1600-1-300x169.jpg" alt="McDonald's golden arches"><div>Source: Vytautas Kielaitis / Shutterstock</div></div>McDonald&rsquo;s Corporation (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mcd-stock-quote/">MCD</a>) operates and franchises McDonald&rsquo;s restaurants worldwide. The fast-food giant has been facing challenges in 2024, with <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/mcdonalds-posts-surprise-drop-quarterly-global-sales-spending-slows-2024-07-29/#:~:text=Global%20comparable%20sales%20fell%201,remains%20low%2C%22%20he%20said.">Q2 global comparable sales falling 1%</a> and revenue of $6.49 billion slightly missing expectations. You might think McDonald&rsquo;s is a clich&eacute; pick when it comes to recession-resistant stocks, but I believe it&rsquo;s clich&eacute; for a good reason. The Golden Arches performed admirably during the Great Recession and also weathered the storm of 2020 quite well, even as the pandemic decimated many restaurant businesses.



I&rsquo;m confident McDonald&rsquo;s can continue to shine and will likely benefit if a recession hits, as its affordable menu attracts budget-conscious diners looking for the occasional meal out. The recent introduction of a $5 value meal deal, which <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/22/mcdonalds-to-extend-5-value-meal-in-most-markets.html">93% of U.S. restaurants are extending into</a> August, is already boosting traffic. While UBS analysts trimmed their price target on MCD to $305, they maintain a &ldquo;Buy&rdquo; rating, expecting a stronger second half fueled by value promotions. So, while McDonald&rsquo;s faces some near-term headwinds, I believe its resilient business model and strategic focus on value position it well to satisfy hungry investors.



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-74.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-74.png" alt="Stocks that benefit from a recession: McDonald's dividends"> Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div>The dividend yield is at 2.5% as of writing.



<h2>Rollins (ROL)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/mouse-pest-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="photo of a brown mouse stealing grains from a burlap bag"><div>Source: shutterstock.com/torook</div></div>Rollins (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/rol-stock-quote/">ROL</a>) provides pest control services for residential and commercial customers. The company delivered strong Q2 2024 results, with <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/earnings-call-rollins-inc-announced-an-87-increase-in-revenue-to-892-million-93CH-3538078">revenue growing 8.7% to $892 million</a> and organic growth of 7.7%, driven by solid demand across its residential, commercial, and termite segments.



I believe Rollins is unlikely to lose much business even in a recession.



After all, you&rsquo;re not going to just live with roaches and termites in your home because the economy hits a rough patch. Rollins&rsquo; services are non-discretionary &ndash; its stock actually rose 17% in 2007-2008 while the broader market tanked. I wouldn&rsquo;t be surprised to see a repeat performance in the next downturn.



Another tailwind for Rollins is climate change. As summers get hotter and more humid, pest problems are spreading to more parts of the country. That means more business for Rollins for years to come. <a href="https://www.avivainvestors.com/en-gb/views/aiq-investment-thinking/2024/03/pest-control-industry/#:~:text=Projections%20indicate%20the%20global%20pest,some%20of%20the%20key%20drivers.">The global pest control market is expected to nearly double from $23 billion in 2023 to $42 billion in 2032</a>.



<div><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-75.png" alt="Rollins dividends"><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div>Rollins also pays a small 1.26% dividend. While some analysts see limited upside at the current valuation, I think Rollins&rsquo; recession-resistant business model makes it a solid pick for uncertain times.



<h2>Cintas (CTAS)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/ctas-stock-300x169.jpg" alt="Image of the Cintas (CTAS) logo on the side of a white van."><div>Source: Sundry Photography / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Cintas (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ctas-stock-quote/">CTAS</a>) provides corporate identity uniforms and related business services to over a million businesses across North America. The company recently reported strong fiscal 2024 fourth quarter and full-year results, with <a href="https://markets.ft.com/data/announce/detail?dockey=600-202407180830BIZWIRE_USPRX____20240718_BW043928-1">revenue growing 8.2% and 8.9%</a>, respectively. Diluted EPS increased 19.8% for the quarter and 16.6% for the year.



While Cintas took a hit during the Great Recession, I don&rsquo;t believe a potential near-term recession would impact the company as severely. Cintas has diversified its business, and I expect any upcoming downturn to be more focused on the tech sector rather than the industries Cintas serves. With the U.S. undergoing a major re-industrialization push and welcoming millions of migrants to fill new blue-collar jobs, Cintas stands to benefit greatly.



Government funding is likely to continue flowing into blue-collar industries, and if a white-collar recession does occur, it shouldn&rsquo;t have a significant effect on Cintas. In fact, given the influx of migrants and the ongoing construction and industrial boom, I anticipate Cintas will maintain its growth trajectory.



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-76.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-76.png" alt="CTAS dividends"> Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div>The dividend yield is at 0.8%.



<h2>Anheuser-Busch (BUD)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/bud1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Corporate building with Anheuser Busch (BUD) logo on it"><div>Source: legacy1995 / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bud-stock-quote/">BUD</a>) is the world&rsquo;s largest brewing company, boasting over 500 beer brands across the globe. The beer behemoth recently reported solid second-quarter 2024 results, with <a href="https://www.afp.com/en/news/1315/ab-inbev-reports-second-quarter-2024-results-202407312600581">revenue growing 2.7%</a> and EBITDA increasing 10.2% year-over-year. BUD stock has been a relatively stable investment in recent years, characterized by low volatility and consistent sales. While the stock trended downward from 2016 to 2020, I believe it is currently priced attractively.



Analysts maintain an &ldquo;Overweight&rdquo; <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/bud/analystestimates">consensus on BUD</a>, with an average price target of $73. However, the company did face a setback recently when <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/ab-inbev-sale-russian-jv-stake-anadolu-efes-rejected-by-authorities-2024-08-08/">Russian authorities blocked</a> its attempt to offload its joint-venture stake in the country to Turkey&rsquo;s Anadolu Efes. On the bright side, AB InBev continues to capitalize on key industry trends like low-alcohol beers and seasonal releases.



In my view, BUD stock is trading sideways at levels that leave little room for downside, even if a recession hits. In fact, these undervalued levels could position the stock to benefit during an economic downturn as consumers trade down to affordable brands. With its diverse portfolio, robust financials, and recession-resistant business model, I think Anheuser-Busch InBev deserves a spot on your watchlist.



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-77.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-77.png" alt="BUD dividend yield chart"> Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div>The dividend isn&rsquo;t the most stable and it currently yields 1.46%.



<h2>Ross Stores (ROST)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rost-stock-1-300x169.jpg" alt="Retail Stocks to Buy for the Long Run: Ross Stores (ROST)"><div>Source: Andriy Blokhin / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Ross Stores (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/rost-stock-quote/">ROST</a>) operates a chain of off-price retail apparel and home accessories stores. The company recently reported strong Q1 2024 results, with <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/ROST/earnings/">earnings per share of $1.46, beating estimates by 11 cents</a> and revenue growing 8% year-over-year to $4.86 billion.



I believe Ross Stores is well-positioned to benefit if a recession hits. During the Great Recession, Ross was one of the quickest retailers to recover and arguably came out even stronger. Its focus on delivering great branded bargains resonates with budget-conscious shoppers.



As inflation squeezes discretionary spending, more consumers are likely to seek out the discounted apparel and home goods that Ross excels at providing. Management is leaning into this opportunity by sharpening prices and strengthening its value proposition. While this may pressure margins in the near future, it&rsquo;s the right move to gain market share.



With the stock currently rated &ldquo;Overweight&rdquo; by analysts and an average price target of $163, I think you should keep ROST on your radar.



<div><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-78.png" alt="Ross Stores dividends chart"><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div>It also comes with a 1% dividend yield to sweeten the deal. Management raised dividends during the Great Recession but panicked and cut in 2020. 



<h2>Walmart (WMT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/wm-stock-10-300x169.jpg" alt="Image of Walmart (WMT) logo on Walmart store with clear blue sky in the background"><div>Source: Jonathan Weiss / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Walmart (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/wmt-stock-quote/">WMT</a>) operates a chain of hypermarkets, discount department stores, and grocery stores. The retail giant has been firing on all cylinders lately, with strong sales growth, market share gains, and expanding profit margins driven by its thriving e-commerce business and newer ventures like advertising and fulfillment services.



In Q1 2025, <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/walmart-beats-expectations-q1-revenue-165600668.html">Walmart beat expectations with 6% revenue growth to $161.5 billion</a> and adjusted EPS of 60 cents, which topped estimates by eight cents. The company is winning over higher-income shoppers and saw 22% e-commerce growth in its U.S. business. CFO <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/20/consumer-pullback-ceos.html#:~:text=Finance%20chief%20John%20David%20Rainey,a%20weaker%20low-income%20consumer.">John David Rainey told</a> CNBC that the widening gap between grocery prices at home versus restaurants is helping boost Walmart&rsquo;s food sales.



However, with the stock near all-time highs, much of the good news seems priced in. Tougher year-over-year comparisons and economic uncertainty could pressure the stock. However, if a recession hits, Walmart is well-positioned to gain wallet share from cash-strapped consumers trading down.



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-79.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-79.png" alt="Walmart dividends chart"> Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div>Dividends only go up when it comes to WMT, and it currently yields 1.2%.



<h2>Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/regeneron_regn1600-300x169.jpg" alt="The Regeneron (REGN) website is displayed on a smartphone screen over a blue background."><div>Source: madamF / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/regn-stock-quote/">REGN</a>) develops life-transforming medicines for serious diseases. The biotech giant has been executing well lately, with <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/news/tradingview:3de0cec1b7520:0-regeneron-pharmaceuticals-reports-strong-q2-2024-financial-results/">double-digit revenue and earnings growth in Q2 2024</a>, driven by strong sales of Eylea, Dupixent, and Libtayo. Despite increased competition, Regeneron&rsquo;s retinal disease drug, Eylea, remains the market leader with a 45% share. The company also has a robust pipeline with over 35 programs in clinical development spanning several therapeutic areas.



However, Regeneron faces some challenges. Lingering inflation, geopolitical tensions, and pressures to cut drug prices will be key headwinds for the pharma industry in 2024. The Department of Justice is investigating Regeneron&rsquo;s Eylea marketing practices, though the company believes the lawsuit is baseless. Analysts remain mostly bullish, with an <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/regn/analystestimates">average price target of $1,169</a> versus the current $1,121 stock price. But some rate it a &ldquo;Hold,&rdquo; likely due to the legal overhang and industry pressures.



I&rsquo;m keeping this at the caboose of this list due to the prospects of a Harris presidency. You&rsquo;d have to watch politics closely if you want to invest here. It also doesn&rsquo;t pay a dividend, so you&rsquo;re unlikely to get extra cash during a recession.
