4 Auto Picks

Here are four auto stocks that have the right combination of elements to deliver an earnings beat when they release their fourth-quarter results:

Cummins Inc (NYSE:CMI). (

Headquartered in Columbus, IN, Cummins is a leading global designer, manufacturer and distributor of diesel and natural gas engines, electric power generation systems, and engine-related components, fuel systems, controls and air handling systems.

The company is expected to report second-quarter 2017 results on Aug 1.

BorgWarner Inc (NYSE:BWA). (HZN ) has an Earnings ESP of +2.99% and carries a Zacks Rank #3.

Troy, MI-based Horizon Global Corporation designs, manufactures, and distributes a range of towing, trailering, cargo management, and other related accessory products to the automotive aftermarket, retail, and original equipment channels worldwide. The company is expected to report second-quarter 2017 results on Aug 1.

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.
