SLAB.QuantumScape & 2 Stocks Set for Earnings Acceleration in 2026As we approach 2026, analysts might concentrate on companies with steady earnings growth as an indicator of ongoing profitability. However, it’s wise to pay attention to stocks showing earnings acceleration, since this trend more strongly influences stock prices. This is because numerous studies show that stocks often experience an earnings boost before their stock value increases.In this context, QuantumScape Corp., Adobe Inc. and Silicon Laboratories Inc. are showcasing impressive earnings acceleration.What is Earnings Acceleration?Earnings 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 spot stocks that haven’t yet caught the attention of investors and, once secured, will invariably lead to a rally in the 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 48.
