SDRL.3 Stocks Showing Powerful Earnings Acceleration This MayAs May began, astute investors started looking for companies demonstrating steady earnings growth as a sign of solid profitability. However, earnings acceleration is even more impactful and often serves as a stronger catalyst for driving stock prices higher. Studies indicate that top-performing stocks typically exhibit earnings acceleration before their share prices rise.To that end, ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Cummins Inc. and Seadrill Ltd. are showing strong earnings acceleration this month.Earnings Acceleration SimplifiedEarnings acceleration is the incremental growth in a company’s earnings per share (EPS). In other words, if a company’s quarter-over-quarter earnings growth rate increases within a stipulated time frame, it can be called earnings acceleration.In the case of earnings growth, you pay for something that is already reflected in the stock price. However, earnings acceleration helps identify stocks that haven’t yet caught investors' attention and, once secured, will invariably lead to a rally in share price. This is because earnings acceleration considers both the direction and magnitude of growth rates.An increasing percentage of earnings growth means that the company is fundamentally sound and has been on the right track for a considerable period. Meanwhile, a sideways percentage of earnings growth indicates a period of consolidation or slowdown, while a decelerating percentage of earnings growth may drag prices down.The above criteria narrowed the universe of around 7,735 stocks to only 13.
