Sign InAmid a strategic shift toward identifying growth catalysts before they are fully priced in, Jabil, CECO, and Klarna have been identified as top stocks exhibiting accelerating earnings-per-share (EPS) growth trends for the second half of 2026. According to reports from Zacks Investment Research, this selection is driven by financial screens that capture rising momentum in profitability, a pattern that historically precedes significant valuation expansion. This focus on acceleration highlights companies that are effectively outperforming their baseline growth trajectories.
These projections arrive as electronic manufacturing services firms like Jabil navigate a competitive landscape alongside peers such as Celestica and Flex Ltd. Market data indicates that firms capable of accelerating EPS growth often see higher institutional accumulation compared to those with stagnant growth rates. Furthermore, the inclusion of Klarna underscores a broader recovery in the fintech sector, where earnings quality is becoming a primary differentiator for retail and institutional investors alike.
From a market perspective, JBL shares stood at $321.96 (close July 13, 2026), having tested a day high of $328.39 in recent trading. Investors are monitoring the $318.43 level as a key area of technical support to sustain this bullish outlook. While the immediate economic calendar is light on corporate-specific catalysts, broader sentiment will likely be influenced by recent global inflation data from China and Germany as markets assess the macro environment for growth stocks.
