High-Growth Investments
Amer Sports, Inc.
Amer Sports, Inc. (AS) aims to be a leader in premium sports and outdoor brands. The company currently offers several iconic brands, including Arc’teryx, Salomon, Wilson, Atomic, ATEC, Armada, DeMarini, EvoShield and Peak Performance. Wilson is probably the most familiar brand to you, as its footballs and tennis rackets are used primarily in professional matches.
Demand for its products drove second-quarter sales 23% year-over-year to $1.25 billion and earnings 46% year-over-year to $0.06 per share. Analysts only expected earnings of $0.02 per share, so Amer Sports posted a whopping 200% earnings surprise.
In the wake of this huge earnings surprise, analysts have increased their third-quarter earnings estimates in the past three months. Third-quarter earnings are now forecast to jump 71.4% year-over-year to $0.24 per share, up from $0.14 per share in the same quarter a year ago. Sales are expected to rise 27.7% year-over-year to $1.73 billion.
Amer Sports is scheduled to announce third-quarter results on November 18. And given positive analyst revisions, I suspect a fifth-straight quarterly earnings surprise is likely. AS is a Moderately Aggressive buy below $38.

Bloom Energy Corporation
Bloom Energy Corporation (BE) was a new addition to the High-Growth Investments Buy List in the October Monthly Issue. As you may recall, Bloom Energy provides solid oxide technology to convert fuel – such as biogas, hydrogen, natural gas or a fuel blend – into electricity. Given that AI is demanding more and more power, the company’s fuel cells have been in top demand.
In fact, on Tuesday afternoon, Bloom Energy reported its fourth consecutive quarter of record revenue. Third-quarter revenue jumped 57.1% year-over-year to $519 million, crushing estimates for $426.4 million. Product and service revenue accounted for $442.9 million.
Third-quarter earnings surged to $0.15 per share, compared to a $0.01 per share loss in the third quarter of 2024. Analysts only expected earnings of $0.10 per share, so Bloom Energy posted a 50% earnings surprise.
Following the revenue and earnings beat, BE shares surged 19% on Wednesday. The stock is now up an incredible 84% since we added it to the Buy List in the October Monthly Issue. I should also add that analysts also increased fourth-quarter earnings estimates following the better-than-expected third-quarter report. BE is an Aggressive buy below $198.

Elbit Systems Ltd.
Elbit Systems Ltd. (ESLT) is an Israeli defense contractor that offers a wide range of systems and products – air, land and naval – for defense, homeland security and commercial applications. And demand for its systems and products has driven its backlog to a robust $23.8 billion.
Elbit Systems is set to release third-quarter results on November 18. Third-quarter earnings are forecast to grow 23.5% year-over-year to $2.73 per share, and revenue is expected to rise 15.7% year-over-year to $1.99 billion.
The company has posted an earnings surprise of 18.8%, 36.4%, 24.8% and 25.7% in the past four quarters, respectively. So, given that the analyst community has increased earnings estimates over the past two months, Elbit Systems will likely post its fifth straight quarterly earnings surprise. ESLT is a Conservative buy below $511.

GE Vernova, Inc.
GE Vernova, Inc. (GEV) was originally part of General Electric, but it was formed when General Electric spun off its energy businesses and merged them into one entity. Today, GE Vernova operates three main divisions – power, wind and electrification – and generates approximately 25% of the world’s total electricity.
During the third quarter, orders jumped 55% year-over-year to $14.6 billion, thanks to strong equipment sales from its Power and Electrification business. Its Electrification backlog increased by $6.6 billion.
Total third-quarter revenue rose 12% year-over-year to $9.97 billion, compared to estimates for $9.15 billion. Earnings surged to $453 billion, or $1.64 per share, up from a loss of $99 million, or a $0.35 per share loss, in the third quarter of 2024. Analysts expected earnings of $1.86 per share.
Looking forward, GE Vernova expects full-year 2025 revenue between $36 billion and $37 billion, which compares to revenue of $34.94 billion in fiscal year 2024. GEV is a Moderately Aggressive buy below $657.

Palantir Technologies, Inc.
Palantir Technologies, Inc. (PLTR) is the largest AI applier out there right now, as its platforms integrate, manage and secure data that’s then layered with applications for human-driven, machine-assisted analysis. The U.S. government is one of its top customers, as it helps to make the U.S. government overall more efficient, while also making the Department of Defense smarter.
The company will announce third-quarter results on Monday, November 3, after the stock market closes. Given that analysts have increased earnings estimates by 21.4% in the past three months, I expect another positive earnings surprise. Palantir Technologies has posted an earnings surprise in each of the last four quarters.
Third-quarter earnings are forecast to surge 70% year-over-year to $0.17 per share, up from $0.10 per share in the third quarter of 2024. Revenue is expected to increase 50.5% year-over-year to $1.09 billion. PLTR is a Moderately Aggressive buy below $235.
