On January 14, 2026, GES was one of five companies newly added to the Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) list, joining IFNNY, ITUB, JKS and NESR. This marks the third time in six months that GES has earned a top Zacks ranking, reflecting upward earnings estimate revisions from an average of three analysts. Following the announcement, the consensus EPS estimate for GES’s upcoming quarter rose by 4.5% over the prior week, suggesting improved profitability projections ahead of its next earnings release.

On the same day, GES also secured a position among three names designated as Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) income stocks, alongside JKS and SAIC. This dual listing underscores the company’s attractive dividend yield—currently at 3.2%, one of the highest in its sector—and a payout ratio below 55%, which supports sustainability. Investors seeking both capital appreciation and reliable cash flow have flagged GES for its 12-month dividend growth rate of 18%, driven by consistent free cash flow generation over the past four quarters.
