Three growth names with improving earnings outlook

Conviction: 74% · Horizon: 12M · 2026-05-07
Rising profit expectations and reasonable valuation support further upside

The highlighted companies combine materially improving earnings expectations with valuation metrics that compare favorably with their industries, creating a setup for continued share-price appreciation if execution holds.

Instrument Side Target Reason
CNC Long Centene offers diversified exposure to government-sponsored healthcare programs, while sharply improving earnings expectations and a PEG below the industry suggest the market may still be underpricing its growth profile.
WOOF Long Petco combines exposure to resilient pet health and wellness spending with strong upward earnings revisions, and its PEG well below the industry points to attractive growth-adjusted valuation.
VLO Long Valero's position as the largest independent U.S. refiner and marketer is paired with a dramatic improvement in current-year earnings expectations, and its very low PEG versus the industry indicates substantial upside if margins and operations remain supportive.
