High-Growth Investments

AutoZone, Inc. (AZO) has secured a spot on the Top 5 Stocks list for four-consecutive months. As you know, AutoZone is a leading retailer and provider of automotive parts and accessories in the U.S. The company operates more than 6,000 retail stores in the U.S., as well as in Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, Mexico and Brazil.

AutoZone has earned a spot on the Top 5 Stocks list again given its ability to expand its top and bottom lines, as well as consistently top analysts’ earnings expectations. The company has posted a positive earnings surprise in each of the last four quarters.

Now, AutoZone is expected to release results from its fourth quarter in fiscal year 2019 in mid- to late-August. The analyst community is looking for earnings of $21.80 per share and revenue of $3.93 billion, which represents 10.5% annual revenue growth and 17.6% annual earnings growth. And analysts have increased earnings estimates in the past week alone—and that bodes well for another quarterly earnings surprise. AZO is a Conservative buy below $1,228.

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (CDNS), our provider of electronic design automation software and hardware, pulled back early this week in the wake of its second-quarter report. However, the dip was merely profit taking and I view this dip as a great buying opportunity. Consider this…

Cadence Design Systems reported that second-quarter revenue rose 11.9% year-over-year to $580 million, which topped expectations for $579.48 million. Earnings increased 27.8% year-over-year to $161 million, or $0.57 per share, beating analysts’ forecasts for $0.53 per share by 7.5%.

Given the strong second-quarter results, Cadence Design Systems increased their revenue and earnings outlook for fiscal year 2019. Total revenue is now forecast to be between $2.32 billion and $2.34 billion, and earnings per share are expected to be between $2.11 and $2.17. That’s nicely higher than current forecasts for earnings of $2.10 per share and revenue of $2.32 billion. CDNS is a Conservative buy below $82.

NextEra Energy, Inc. (NEE) is a leading provider of wind and solar energy in North America. The company plans to invest $40 billion in clean energy infrastructure through 2020. In addition, NextEra Energy operates more than 140 megawatts of battery energy storage systems in the U.S. So, it’s not surprising that the company beat the consensus earnings estimate for its second quarter on Wednesday.

NextEra Energy reported second-quarter earnings of $1.33 billion, or $2.35 per share, which represented 14.6% annual earnings growth. The analyst community was expecting earnings of $2.31 per share, so NEE posted a 1.7% earnings surprise.

NextEra Energy also noted that it increased its backlog by more than 1,850 megawatts. Company management stated, “NextEra Energy is as well-positioned as it has ever been to deliver on our financial expectations.” The company expects to achieve 6% to 8% compound annual growth through 2022. NEE is a Conservative buy below $224.

Sun Communities, Inc. (SUI) was our new addition to the High-Growth Investments Buy List in the July Monthly Issue. If you recall, Sun Communities is a North American real estate investment trust (REIT) that’s focused on manufactured homes and RV communities in the U.S. and Canada. The REIT operates about 379 communities.

On Wednesday, Sun Communities smashed analysts’ earnings and sales estimates for its second quarter in fiscal year 2019. The REIT reported earnings of $40.4 million, or $0.46 per share, and revenue of $312.4 million, which represented 15.1% annual revenue growth and 98% annual earnings growth. The analyst community was looking for earnings of $0.31 per share on $238.75 million in revenue, so SUI posted a whopping 48.4% earnings surprise and a 30.8% revenue surprise.

Looking forward to fiscal year 2019, Sun Communities expects earnings per share between $1.81 and $1.87, which is up from previous guidance for earnings per share between $1.61 and $1.71.

Ubiquiti Networks hasn’t announced the date of its earnings release for its fourth quarter in fiscal year 2019. But the company is expected to report results in mid-August—and analysts are expecting another solid quarter of double-digit earnings and sales growth.

The analyst community is currently forecasting earnings of $1.16 per share, or 14.9% annual earnings growth. Sales are forecast to come in at $303.58 million, up 12.5% from the $269.78 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2018. UBNT is a Moderately Aggressive buy below $155.

Elite Dividend Payers

Coca-Cola European Partners plc (CCEP) was added to the Elite Dividend Payers Buy List back in the June Monthly Issue. The company is the largest independent Coca-Cola bottler in the world, as it sells and distributes the soft drink brand in 13 countries. CCEP sells about 2.5 billion cases each year.

The company is scheduled to announce earnings and sales from the most-recent quarter on August 7. The consensus estimate currently calls for earnings of $0.86 per share and revenue of $3.6 billion. That translates to 2.9% annual revenue growth and 11.7% annual earnings growth. Earnings per share estimates have also been revised higher in the past three months, which means a quarterly earnings surprise is likely.

Coca-Cola European Partners also has a long history of rewarding its shareholders. The company has paid a dividend for 126-straight quarters, or for more than 31 years. CCEP last paid a quarterly dividend of $0.69 per share on June 6—and that dividend represented a 122.5% increase over the dividend paid in the same quarter a year ago.

The analyst community is expecting earnings of $0.83 per share on $1.04 billion in revenue, or 12.3% annual revenue growth and 22.1% annual earnings growth. Analysts have upped earnings estimates slightly in the past three months, so another quarterly earnings surprise is likely.

Monthly – Closed on the highs. Trade pressures are up. Volumes closed the month of June bullish. Volumes were lower than the prior month’s selling volumes. The next target up is 3408. A close below 2735 would confirm any weekly move lower.

Weekly – In the move up from the 2875 new long entry. Trade pressures are up. Volumes are bullish. The next target up is 3048. A close below 2810 would confirm any daily move lower.

Daily – Flat. Touched the 2914 level intraday, but no close. Trade pressures are up but in the decline. Volumes are bullish.

The next target up would be a retest of the 2969 highs. The hourly is already in the move up from the 2928 level with a 2968 target.

And, as of the writing, the weekend news from the G-20 suggests the two protagonists have reached some form of a tariff truce. But Trump can’t avoid tweeting it worse and Xi can wait the 18 months or so til the next election; so, the relief rally is not to be trusted.

A close below the 2913 level would signal lower.
