Quant snapshot: JinkoSolar, PNC Financial lead top-rated names as SL Green Realty, Badger Meter lag

Quant rankings for the upcoming earnings calendar show strength concentrated in financials and select technology and consumer staples names, while weakness is more pronounced across real estate, technology, and pockets of consumer discretionary and energy.

This week’s top-rated names are led by JinkoSolar Holding (JKS [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/JKS]), which holds a quant rating of 4.78, followed by a strong showing from financials including PNC Financial Services (PNC [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/PNC]) at 4.67, First Horizon (FHN [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/FHN]) at 4.63, and Citizens Financial Group (CFG [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CFG]) at 4.57. Consumer staples name PepsiCo (PEP [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/PEP]), also at 4.57, features prominently alongside technology names such as Ericsson (ERIC [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/ERIC]). Additional financial heavyweights, including State Street (STT [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/STT]), Bank of America (BAC [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/BAC]), and Truist Financial (TFC [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/TFC]), round out the higher-ranked cohort, alongside industrial player Insteel Industries (IIIN [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/IIIN]), reflecting broadly solid factor readings across valuation, growth, and profitability.

On the downside, real estate and select technology names dominate the weakest-ranked stocks. SL Green Realty (SLG [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/SLG]) holds the lowest quant score at 1.55, followed closely by Badger Meter (BMI [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/BMI]) at 1.59 and Lakeland Industries (LAKE [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/LAKE]) at 1.72. Other laggards include Great Southern Bancorp (GSBC [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/GSBC]) and MIND Technology (MIND [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/MIND]), pointing to weaker factor trends across valuation and momentum. Additional names such as SurgePays (SURG [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/SURG]), New Horizon Aircraft (HOVR [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/HOVR]), and Wipro (WIT [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/WIT]) also feature among the lower-ranked stocks, alongside Autoliv (ALV [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/ALV]) and Barry Callebaut (BYCBF [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/BYCBF]), reflecting mixed but generally softer quantitative profiles.
