These 2 Computer and Technology Stocks Could Beat Earnings: Why They Should Be on Your Radar

Zacks explains its Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) tool and highlights two technology-related stocks — Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Match Group (MTCH) — as candidates to beat upcoming earnings. Both carry Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and positive ESPs ahead of quarterly reports due May 5, 2026: AMD’s Most Accurate EPS estimate is $1.36 vs. a $1.30 consensus (ESP +5.02%), and Match’s is $0.95 vs. $0.92 (ESP +3.26%). Zacks argues that combining a positive ESP with a favorable Zacks Rank has historically led to a high probability of earnings surprises, which can lift share prices. Investors may see short-term upside in these names if results exceed expectations; Zacks promotes using its ESP filter to find similar opportunities.
