More companies are starting to stand out in an exciting week that features quarterly results from four of the Magnificent 7 themed big tech stocks.
Exceeding their quarterly expectations this morning, here are three top-rated Zacks stocks to consider after posting pleasant EPS surprises.
Boasting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), we’ll start with textile apparel company V.F. Corporation VFC. Reporting results for its fiscal third quarter, V.F. Corporation blasted Q3 EPS expectations by 82% with earnings at $0.62 per share compared to estimates of $0.34.
V.F. Corporation’s Q3 earnings increased from $0.54 a share in the comparative quarter as the company appears to be taking advantage of its niche as an apparel provider that offers skateboard and surf-related footwear.
Attributing to its strong buy rating is that earnings estimate revisions for fiscal 2025 were already a tad higher in the last week with FY26 EPS revisions spiking 9% over the last 30 days.

Posting a 20% EPS surprise, electronics products manufacturer Flex FLEX has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Also releasing results for its fiscal third quarter, Flex’s diverse workforce was on display with Q3 EPS at $0.77 versus estimates of $0.64. Having operations in 30 countries, Flex’s Q3 earnings stretched from tougher to compete against year-ago figures of $0.71 a share.
Trading at a reasonable 16.5X forward earnings multiple, it’s noteworthy that Flex has exceeded the Zacks EPS Consensus for an astonishing 22 consecutive quarters.

While ADP's ADP 3% EPS surprise doesn’t jump off the page, the outsourcing company was able to beat lofty expectations for its fiscal second quarter. Furthermore, Q2 EPS of $2.35 spiked 10% from a year ago in addition to beating estimates of $2.27.
Sporting a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), the Human Capital Management (HCM) provider saw its stock hit new 52-week peaks of $311 on Wednesday. Forecast of 8% EPS growth in FY25 and FY26 could keep the rally going. Plus, ADP has become a “Dividend King” after increasing its payout for 50 consecutive years.
