Apple Inc. (AAPL), Research In Motion Ltd (BBRY) and Three Predictions for Next Week

3. Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:APOG) will beat Wall Street’s earnings estimates
Some stocks are just flat-out better than others.

Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:APOG) has carved out a cozy living making value-added glass products for the architectural and picture-framing industries. Another thing it does is make analysts look like perpetual underachievers. If analysts say the company posted a profit of $0.17 a share in its latest quarter, I’ll whip out a “greater than” sign. History’s on my side!

One of my best tricks to beating the market is finding stocks that perpetually land ahead of the prognosticators. Let’s go over the past year of earnings reports.

Things can change, of course. The construction boom could come to a halt. Picture frames also may seem like buggy whips in an age where digital photography is the new normal. However, given the way Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:APOG) has obliterated analysts’ estimates with ease over the past year — it hasn’t even been close, really — it’s hard to be against this trend.

Everything seems to be falling into place for another market-thumping quarter on the bottom line.

Three for the road
Well, there are three predictions right there. Let’s see how I fare this week.
