<h3>Exploring the Significance of Insider Trading</h3>
Insider transactions, although significant, should be considered within the larger context of market analysis and trends.
Within the legal framework, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as per Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
The initiation of a new purchase by a company insider serves as a strong indication that they expect the stock to rise.

Investors might want to bet on Rollins (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rol#NYSE">ROL</a>), as it has been recently upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). An upward trend in earnings estimates -- one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices -- has triggered this rating change.
A company&#39;s changing earnings picture is at the core of the Zacks rating. The system tracks the Zacks Consensus Estimate -- the consensus measure of EPS estimates from the sell-side analysts covering the stock -- for the current and following years.
Individual investors often find it hard to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts, since these are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time. In these situations, the Zacks rating system comes in handy because of the power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements.
Therefore, the Zacks rating upgrade for Rollins basically reflects positivity about its earnings outlook that could translate into buying pressure and an increase in its stock price.
Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock Prices
The change in a company&#39;s future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, and the near-term price movement of its stock are proven to be strongly correlated. The influence of institutional investors has a partial contribution to this relationship, as these big professionals use earnings and earnings estimates to calculate the fair value of a company&#39;s shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their bulk investment action then leads to price movement for the stock.
For Rollins, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade fundamentally mean an improvement in the company&#39;s underlying business. And investors&#39; appreciation of this improving business trend should push the stock higher.
Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate Revisions
As empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, tracking such revisions for making an investment decision could be truly rewarding. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
Earnings Estimate Revisions for Rollins
This operator of Orkin and other pest and termine control services is expected to earn $1.01 per share for the fiscal year ending December 2024, which represents a year-over-year change of 12.2%.
Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for Rollins. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 1.2%.
Bottom Line
Unlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of &#39;buy&#39; and &#39;sell&#39; ratings for its entire universe of more than 4000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a &#39;Strong Buy&#39; rating and the next 15% get a &#39;Buy&#39; rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.
The upgrade of Rollins to a Zacks Rank #2 positions it in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks in terms of estimate revisions, implying that the stock might move higher in the near term.

12 Industrials Stocks Moving In Thursday's Pre-Market Session

Core &amp; Main (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cnm#NYSE">CNM</a>) will report its fiscal 2024 first-quarter results on Jun 4, before market open.
Let us check out how CNM has lately been doing.
<div class="chart_embed">
<h3>Core &amp; Main, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise</h3>
<a href="https://www.zacks.com/stock/chart/CNM/price-eps-surprise?icid=chart-CNM-price-eps-surprise"><img alt="Core &amp; Main, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/charts/b2/1716903501.png" style="height:266px; width:537px" title="" /> </a>
Core &amp; Main, Inc. price-eps-surprise | Core &amp; Main, Inc. Quote
</div>
<h3>Stock Performance &amp; Valuation</h3>
The company&#39;s shares have surged 76.4% over the past six months, outperforming the 21.6% rally of the industry it belongs to and the 16.5% rise of the Zacks S&amp;P 500 composite.
Based on EV-to-EBITDA, CNM is currently trading at 19.06X compared with the industry&#39;s 12.43X. If we look at the Price/Earnings ratio, CNM shares currently trade at 22.69X forward earnings, below the industry&#39;s 26.98X.
<h3>FY23 Sales &amp; Margin Performances</h3>
CNM&#39;s fiscal 2023 revenues amounted to $6.7 billion, a marginal rise on a year-over-year basis. The rise in the top line was driven by geographic expansion, product line expansion and local share gains.
The gross margin of 27.1% increased 20 basis points in fiscal 2023. An operating margin of 11.1% was reported. The strong margin performance was driven by pricing analytics, sourcing optimization, private label and operational excellence.
<h3>4Q23 Liquidity</h3>
CNM&#39;s current ratio (a measure of liquidity) was 2.29 at the end of fiscal 2023 fourth-quarter, lower than the preceding quarter&#39;s 2.36 and the year-ago quarter&#39;s 3.05. Although it declined, a current ratio of more than 1 often indicates that a company will easily pay off its short-term obligations.
<h3>Sales &amp; EPS Estimates</h3>
For fiscal 2024 first-quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.72 billion, indicating a 9.3% year-over-year rise. The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at 51 cents per share, suggesting a 2% decline from the year-ago reported figure.
For fiscal 2024, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for CNM&#39;s revenues is pegged at $7.54 billion, suggesting 12.6% year-over-year growth. The consensus estimate for earnings stands at $2.59 per share, implying 20.5% year-over-year growth.
<h3>To Conclude</h3>
CNM trades at a premium relative to its industry based on EV to EBITDA. The company&#39;s liquidity position remains healthy but the declining trend is concerning.
Moreover, since the company&#39;s shares have gained a whopping 76.4% over the past six months, it may undergo a correction soon.
Also, CNM does not seem poised for an earnings beat. Per our quantitative model, the combination of two key elements &mdash; a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better &mdash; increases the odds of a positive earnings surprise. But that is not the case with CNM, as it has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% and a Zacks Rank #3 at present.
Given this backdrop, it may not be a bad idea to wait for this fundamentally strong stock to undergo some correction and offer a better entry point rather than rushing to purchase the stock before earnings.
<h3>Earnings Snapshot</h3>
Rollins, Inc.&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rol#NYSE">ROL</a>) first-quarter 2024 earnings meet the Zacks Consensus Estimate and revenues beat the same.
ROL&#39;s adjusted earnings of 20 cents per share increased 11.1% year over year. Revenues of $748.3 million beat the consensus mark by 2.9% and improved 13.7% year over year. Organic revenues of $702.4 million increased 7.5% year over year.
Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bah#NYSE">BAH</a>) reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 results.
BAH&#39;s quarterly adjusted earnings per share of $1.33 surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 9% and increased 31.7% from the year-ago quarter. The company reported revenues of $2.77 billion, which beat the consensus estimate by 1.8% and increased 13.9% year over year. Revenues, excluding billable expenses, were $1.93 billion, up 13.7% on a year-over-year basis.
