Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors alike.
Achieving those goals is made easier with the Zacks Style Scores, a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on popular investing methodologies, namely value, growth, and momentum. The Style Scores can help you narrow down which stocks are better for your portfolio and which ones can beat the market over the long-term.
Different than value or momentum investors, growth-oriented investors are concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, they'll want to focus on the Growth Style Score, which analyzes characteristics like projected and historical earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.
Headquartered at Philadelphia, PA, Crown Holdings is a leading global manufacturer of packaging products for consumer goods. Crown makes a wide variety of steel and aluminum cans for food, beverage, household, and other consumer products and metal vacuum closures, steel crowns and caps.
CCK sits at a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), holds a Growth Style Score of B, and has a VGM Score of A. Earnings and sales are forecasted to increase 8.6% and 1.8% year-over-year, respectively.
Three analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2025, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.15 to $6.96 per share. CCK also boasts an average earnings surprise of 8.7%.
On a historic basis, Crown Holdings has generated cash flow growth of 0.2%, and is expected to report cash flow expansion of 1.1% this year.
With solid fundamentals, a good Zacks Rank, and top-tier Growth and VGM Style Scores, CCK should be on investors' short lists.
