Just caught that Maximus beat earnings expectations last quarter - they posted $1.85 per share versus the consensus estimate of $1.84. Nothing crazy, but it's solid performance considering they missed on revenue by a bit. What caught my eye though is how the stock has been running since the start of the year, up about 8.5% while the broader market barely budged at 0.5%. That's a pretty clean outperformance. The company's also sitting in the Government Services sector, which is apparently ranking in the top 7% of industries right now. Zacks has them rated as a Strong Buy heading into the next quarter, with expectations for $2.03 EPS coming up. Their revenue guidance is around $1.39B for the next quarter. I'm watching to see if these estimates hold or shift after management's call. If the sector momentum continues, MMS could be one of the better positioned plays in that space. The real test will be whether they can keep beating on earnings without stumbling on the revenue side again.
