And some companies' profit gains are likely to be more enormous than others.</p>\n<p>Analysts expect 10 S&P 500 companies, including health care <b>Zimmer Biomet</b>, energy firm <b>Freeport-McMoRan</b> and consumer discretionary firm <b>Chipotle Mexican Grill</b>, to post massive adjusted profit per share growth of 1,000% or much more for the second quarter.

And what a peak it'll be for S&P 50o profit.</p>\n<h2>S&P 500 Headed To Amazing Quarterly Profit</h2>\n<p>Companies in the S&P 500 are expected to post moonshot quarterly profit growth of 64% in the second quarter, says John Butters, earnings analyst at FactSet. If that's right, it would be the largest quarterly profit posted by the S&P 500 in more than a decade, Butters says.</p>\n<p>Profits are soaring back as the U.S. economy is reopening, jobs are plentiful and companies and consumers have lots of money to spend. And the speed of the economy's rebound surprised most people. Analysts bumped up their profit forecasts for the quarter 7.2% since the end of March through June 30. That's the largest upward profit growth forecast boost since FactSet has tracked it going back to 2002, Butters says.</p>\n<p>Skeptics might think this is just wishful thinking. But early indications show there's reason to be optimistic. Already 66 S&P 500 companies, also a record, said second-quarter profit will top their earlier targets.</p>\n<p>So how you stand out when most companies' profits are booming? Just ask 10 S&P 500 outliers.</p>\n<h2>Putting Up 1,000% Or More Profit Growth</h2>\n<p>Scanning the S&P 500, Zimmer Biomet is the company to beat in terms of profit growth. Analysts think it will earn $1.86 a share on an adjusted basis in the second quarter. That's up more than 3,600% from what it earned in the same period a year ago.</p>\n<p>The company makes a variety of orthopedic products like hip and knee replacements. Demand for such goods is expected to be strong as many people now get the optional procedures they put off during the pandemic. Zimmer Biomet reports its second quarter profit on Aug. 3. Shares are only up 3.8% this year so far.</p>\n<p>Energy, though, is an area where profits and share prices are booming. Shares of copper miner Freeport-McMoRan are up more than 40% as investors anticipate an amazing quarter for profits. Analysts are calling for the company to earn nearly 74 cents a share in the second quarter, up more than 2,350% from the same year-ago period. Such strong fundamentals paired with a rising stock price explain the lofty 93 IBD Composite Rating. The company reports on July 22.</p>\n<p>And when it comes to a high Composite Rating, look at Chipotle. The burrito chain sports a near perfect IBD Composite Rating of 98. Shares are up 16.5% this year, roughly in line with the S&P 500. But get ready for a hot-red quarter of profit growth. Analysts think it will report second-quarter profit growth of more than 1,517% or $6.47 a share. Chipotle reports on July 20.</p>\n<p>So while it's going to be a powerful period of growth for the S&P 500, it's still possible to beat the average.</p>\n<h2>A Bonanza Of Profit Is Coming</h2>\n<p><i>Analysts see 1,000% or more profit growth from these S&P 500 companies in the second quarter</i></p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n <tr>\n <th>Company</th>\n <th>Ticker</th>\n <th>Q2 EPS % Ch.</th>\n <th>Primary Sector</th>\n <th>Composite Rating</th>\n <th>% stock YTD ch.</th>\n </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n <tr>\n <td>Zimmer Biomet</td>\n <td></td>\n <td><b>3,620.0%</b></td>\n <td>Health Care</td>\n <td>39</td>\n <td>3.8%</td>\n </tr>\n <tr>\n <td>Freeport-McMoRan</td>\n <td></td>\n <td><b>2,353.3%</b></td>\n <td>Materials</td>\n <td>93</td>\n <td>40.4%</td>\n </tr>\n <tr>\n <td>Hasbro</td>\n <td></td>\n <td><b>2,285.0%</b></td>\n <td>Consumer Discretionary</td>\n <td>67</td>\n <td>4.9%</td>\n </tr>\n <tr>\n <td><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SYF\">Synchrony Financial</a></td>\n <td></td>\n <td><b>2,150.0%</b></td>\n <td>Financials</td>\n <td>88</td>\n <td>40.4%</td>\n </tr>\n <tr>\n <td>W.

Last year, with the U.S. economy navigating its way through the worst economic downturn in decades, AWS grew sales by 30% and now has an annual run-rate of $54 billion in revenue. Since the margins from AWS are substantially higher than Amazon's other operating segments, AWS will be the company's key to explosive cash flow growth in the years that lie ahead.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd67a054d6a438fccebe948326a3d8a8\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Redfin.</span></p>\n<h2>Redfin</h2>\n<p>Another transformative stock that can help you achieve financial freedom over time is technology-driven real estate company <b>Redfin</b> (NASDAQ:RDFN).

An up to 2-percentage-point difference in listing fees might not sound like much, but when home prices are soaring as a result of low mortgage rates, the cost-savings Redfin can provide buyers and sellers is eye-popping.

It's far more convenient for patients to stay home and consult with their doctor, and it's arguably easier for doctors to touch base with high-risk patients.

It also doesn't hurt that virtual visits are billed at a cheaper rate than office visits.</p>\n<p>The icing on the cake for Teladoc is its purchase of applied health signals company Livongo Health last year.

I'll once again remind you that just because a company has a sizable market cap does not mean it can't deliver big-time long-term returns.</p>\n<p>One of the things that makes Mastercard such a great company is that it's cyclical.

Though it is giving up interest income and fee-earning potential during periods of expansion, this decision also means Mastercard isn't hit with credit delinquencies during recessions. Thus, it's able to bounce back from downturns much quicker than other financial stocks because it doesn't have to set capital aside for potential losses.</p>\n<p>And have I mentioned that much of the world still conducts its purchases in cash?

On Memorial Day, we honor those more than 1.2 million people who've made the ultimate sacrifice throughout history to preserve the freedoms we have today, including the freedom of speech, the right to vote, and the right to chart our own financial course.\nFor more than a century, the stock market has offered the opportunity for John and Jane Q. Public to buy stakes in great businesses and build their wealth over time. Although stocks haven't always been the top-performing asset year in and year out, they've run circles around other investment vehicles, such as housing, bonds, and gold.\nIf you're looking to chart your path to financial independence, the following five superior stocks should be instrumental in helping you achieve your goal.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nAmazon\nDon't let market cap be a deterrent. Great companies have large market caps precisely because they've been executing at a higher level than their competition. Even with a $1.65 trillion market cap, Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) could easily double in value over the next couple of years.\nMost people are probably familiar with Amazon's dominant online marketplace. I mean, who hasn't purchased something within the past year on Amazon? According to an April report from eMarketer, Amazon now controls 40.4% of all online sales in the United States, the largest economy in the world by gross domestic product. This online success has encouraged more than 200 million people to sign up for a Prime membership, which only cements the loyalty of these shoppers to Amazon's ecosystem of products and services.\nEqually important is Amazon's cloud infrastructure platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS). Last year, with the U.S. economy navigating its way through the worst economic downturn in decades, AWS grew sales by 30% and now has an annual run-rate of $54 billion in revenue. Since the margins from AWS are substantially higher than Amazon's other operating segments, AWS will be the company's key to explosive cash flow growth in the years that lie ahead.\nImage source: Redfin.\nRedfin\nAnother transformative stock that can help you achieve financial freedom over time is technology-driven real estate company Redfin (NASDAQ:RDFN).
