Wall Street closely monitors quarterly reports for companies to gauge recent performance and future expectations, with earnings being a key figure. Earnings surprises, whether positive or negative, can greatly impact stock performance. The Zacks Earnings ESP tool helps identify potential earnings beats by comparing estimates. Stocks with positive ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 or higher have historically outperformed the market.

Coterra Energy (CTRA) and Clearway Energy (CWEN) are two stocks with positive ESP figures, indicating a potential beat on earnings estimates. Investors can use the Zacks Earnings ESP Filter to identify stocks likely to surprise positively or negatively before their earnings reports. CTRA and CWEN are worth considering for potential investment opportunities.
