Arch Capital Group Ltd.

Back in 2001, Arch Capital Group Ltd. (ACGL) was founded in Bermuda due to rising demand for reinsurance solutions. Over the past 18 years, the firm has expanded through strategic acquisitions to include insurance and mortgage insurance options, too. Today, Arch Capital Group is a global underwriter of insurance, reinsurance and mortgage insurance.

On October 29, Arch Capital Group posted third-quarter earnings that topped analysts’ estimates. The company achieved third-quarter earnings of $261 million, or $0.63 per share, compared to $242.3 million, or $0.59 per share, in the third quarter of 2018. Analysts were expecting earnings of $0.62 per share, so ACGL topped estimates by 1.6%.

Looking forward, analysts are expecting fourth-quarter earnings to jump 47.8% year-over-year to $0.68 per share, which is up from $0.46 per share in the same quarter a year ago. ACGL is a Conservative buy below $44.

And, as we discussed in the November 15 Weekly Update, the company is directly in line to benefit from the 5G boom. Keysight Technologies helps its customers better adapt to 5G technology with its design and test solutions.

Just this week, Sprint (S) announced that it would utilize Keysight Technologies’ 5G network emulation solutions.

Keysight Technologies is scheduled to release earnings and sales for its fourth quarter in fiscal year 2019 after the stock market closes on Tuesday, November 26. The consensus estimate calls for earnings of $1.18 per share on $1.09 billion in revenue, or 16.8% annual earnings growth and 4.2% annual revenue growth. Analysts have also upped earnings per share estimates by $0.12 in the past three months, so a fifth-straight quarterly earnings surprise is likely. KEYS is a Moderately Aggressive buy below $113.

At the end of 2018, NextEra Energy had about 21,000 megawatts of net generating capacity in the U.S. and Canada.

Earlier this week, NextEra Energy commenced operations at its Shaw Creek Solar Energy Center in Aiken, South Carolina. The center covers 560 acres, with more than 270,000 photovoltaic solar panels. And it can generate nearly 75 megawatts of electricity, which will provide a clean energy power source for South Carolina.

For the fourth quarter, the analyst community has revised earnings forecasts slightly lower in the past month. NextEra Energy is expect to post earnings of $1.48 per share, or a 0.7% year-over-year dip. However, the company has posted a positive earnings surprise in each of the last three quarters. Plus, NextEra Energy expects full-year earnings to grow 8.1% year-over-year to $8.32 per share. NEE is a Conservative buy below $250.
