Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE:DNR) reported earnings of 12 cents per share in fourth-quarter 2017 (excluding one-time items), which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 7 cents. The company had incurred loss of 2 cents in the year-ago quarter. A significant decline in total expense, improved production and higher oil price realization drove results.

In 2017, adjusted profit was 14 cents per share compared with 4 cents a year ago. The figure surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 10 cents.

Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.

With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.

It's not the one you think.
