The last thing we will do today, now that we have a grasp on the ESP and how powerful of a tool it can be, is to look at a qualifying stock. Lithium Americas Corp. (LAC) holds a Rank #3 at the moment and its Most Accurate Estimate comes in at -$0.01 a share eight days away from its upcoming earnings release on March 21, 2025.
By taking the percentage difference between the -$0.01 Most Accurate Estimate and the -$0.02 Stock Consensus Estimate, Lithium Americas Corp. has an Earnings ESP of 45.45%.
LAC is part of a big group of Basic Materials stocks that boast a positive ESP, and investors may want to take a look at Ecolab (ECL) as well.
Slated to report earnings on April 29, 2025, Ecolab holds a #3 (Hold) ranking on the Stock Rank, and it's Most Accurate Estimate is $1.51 a share 47 days from its next quarterly update.
Ecolab's Earnings ESP figure currently stands at 0.07% after taking the percentage difference between its Most Accurate Estimate and its Stock Consensus Estimate of $1.51.
Because both stocks hold a positive Earnings ESP, LAC and ECL could potentially post earnings beats in their next reports.
