Resideo Technologies, which belongs to the Zacks Security and Safety Services industry, posted revenues of $1.98 billion for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.45%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.94 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.

Resideo Technologies shares have lost about 31% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.9%. What's Next for Resideo Technologies? While Resideo Technologies has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Resideo Technologies was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Some struggle to maintain growth, face looming threats, or fail to reinvest wisely, limiting their future potential. Profits are valuable, but they're not everything. At StockStory, we help you identify the companies that have real staying power. That said, here are three profitable companies that don't make the cut and some better opportunities instead. Levi's (LEVI) Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 10.6% Credited for inventing the first pair of blue jeans in 1873, Levi's (NYSE:LEVI) is an apparel company renowned for its iconic denim products and classic American style. Why Are We Bearish on LEVI? Weak constant currency growth over the past two years indicates challenges in maintaining its market share Projected 6.4 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin next year reflects the company's plans to increase its investments to defend its market position Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management's past and current investment decisions At $24.54 per share, Levi's trades at 15.1x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than LEVI. Timken (TKR) Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 10.5% Established after the founder noticed the difficulty freight wagons had making sharp turns, Timken (NYSE:TKR) is a provider of industrial parts used across various sectors. Why Do We Think TKR Will Underperform? Organic sales performance over the past two years indicates the company may need to make strategic adjustments or rely on M&A to catalyze faster growth Earnings per share have dipped by 2.5% annually over the past two years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term Eroding returns on capital from an already low base indicate that management's recent investments are destroying value Timken is trading at $130.75 per share, or 19.6x forward P/E.

Option Care Health (OPCH) Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 5.9% With a nationwide network of 177 locations serving 43 states and a team of over 4,500 clinicians, Option Care Health (NASDAQ:OPCH) is the largest independent provider of home and alternate site infusion services, delivering medications and clinical support to patients across the United States. Why Is OPCH Not Exciting? Estimated sales growth of 4.3% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend Free cash flow margin was stuck in limbo over the last five years ROIC hasn't moved, making investors question whether its recent investments can increase profitability Story Continues Option Care Health's stock price of $23.79 implies a valuation ratio of 12x forward P/E.
