How Navistar (NAV) Stock Stands Out In A Strong Industry

One stock that might be an intriguing choice for investors right now is Navistar International Corporation (NYSE:NAV) . This is because this security in the Automotive-Original Equipment space is seeing solid earnings estimate revision activity, and is in great company from a Zacks Industry Rank perspective.

This is important because, often times, a rising tide will lift all boats in an industry, as there can be broad trends taking place in a segment that are boosting securities across the board. This is arguably taking place in the Automotive-Original Equipment space as it currently has a Zacks Industry Rank of 51 out of more than 250 industries, suggesting it is well-positioned from this perspective, especially when compared to other segments out there.

Meanwhile, Navistar is actually looking pretty good on its own too. The firm has seen solid earnings estimate revision activity over the past month, suggesting analysts are becoming a bit more bullish on the firm’s prospects in both the short and long term.

In fact, over the past month, current quarter estimates have risen from 48 cents per share to 53 cents per share, while current year estimates have narrowed from a loss of 73 cents per share to a loss of 62 cents per share. The company currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), which is also a favorable signal.You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
