For Immediate ReleaseChicago, IL – August 1, 2025 – Stocks in this week’s article are QuantumScape Corp. QS, Civeo Corp. CVEO and Agenus Inc. AGEN.QuantumScape & 2 Other Stocks to Buy for Earnings AccelerationTop executives and analysts focus on consistent earnings growth, which reflects a company's profitability. However, earnings acceleration has an even greater impact on driving up stock prices. Studies show that successful stocks experience a speed-up in earnings before their stock prices increase.To that end, QuantumScape Corp., Civeo Corp. and Agenus Inc. are exhibiting strong earnings acceleration this month.What Is Earnings Acceleration?Earnings acceleration is the incremental growth in a company's earnings per share (EPS). In other words, if a company's quarter-over-quarter earnings growth rate increases within a stipulated time frame, it can be called earnings acceleration.In the case of earnings growth, you pay for something that is already reflected in the stock price. However, earnings acceleration helps spot stocks that haven't yet caught the attention of investors and, once secured, will invariably lead to a rally in the share price. This is because earnings acceleration considers both the direction and magnitude of growth rates.An increasing percentage of earnings growth means that the company is fundamentally sound and has been on the right track for a considerable period. Meanwhile, a sideways percentage of earnings growth indicates a period of consolidation or slowdown, while a decelerating percentage of earnings growth may drag prices down.The above criteria narrowed the universe of around 7,735 stocks to only four. Here are the top three stocks:QuantumScapeQuantumScape develops solid-state lithium-metal batteries for electric vehicles in the United States. QuantumScape has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
