One company that should be on your radar is BPZ Resources, Inc. (BPZ). The stock of this oil and gas exploration and production company has seen its Zacks Rank surge over the past four weeks, moving from Hold territory to its current position as a Buy.
A key reason for this move has been the positive trend in the earnings estimate revisions picture. For BPZ’s full year estimate, we have seen 2 estimates go higher in the past 30 days, compared to just 1 lower. This trend has helped the consensus estimate to trend higher, going from a loss of 19 cents a share a month ago to its current level at a loss of 15 cents.
This positive shift in estimates has made some investors take notice and buy the stock. In fact, BPZ Resources has seen some pretty solid trading lately, as the company has moved higher by 38.3% in the past month.
If BPZ Resources can keep up this great momentum on the earnings estimate front and continue to impress analysts, we could see more gains ahead for this company, suggesting that you might want to put BPZ on your watch list for the future.
Other top-ranked stocks worth considering in this space include Vermilion Energy Inc. (VET), Range Resources Corporation (RRC), and Patterson-UTI Energy Inc. (PTEN). All these carry a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
