Investors are always looking for stocks that are poised to beat at earnings season and Truist Financial Corporation TFC may be one such company. The firm has earnings coming up pretty soon, and events are shaping up quite nicely for their report.
That is because Truist Financial is seeing favorable earnings estimate revision activity as of late, which is generally a precursor to an earnings beat.

This suggests that analysts have very recently bumped up their estimates for TFC, giving the stock a Zacks Earnings ESP of +1.01% heading into earnings season.
