Ameresco Rating Upgrade Could Make it a Solid Choice for Investors

Because of the importance of a changing earnings picture in determining short-term stock price movements, the Zacks rating system is extremely useful for individual investors.

As a result, Ameresco’s Zacks rating upgrade reflects optimism about its earnings outlook, which could translate into buying pressure and an increase in its stock price.

For Ameresco, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade fundamentally mean an improvement in the company’s underlying business, says Nasdaq.com.

This energy services company is expected to earn $1.43 per share for the fiscal year ending December 2021, a 21.2 percent increase from the previous year’s reported figure, with analysts raising Ameresco’s estimates by 11.4 percent.
