Investors are always on the lookout for technology-driven companies that are able to offer innovative solutions.

Often times the reward for investing in such stocks is very lucrative with Synaptics SYNA and Verra Mobility VRRM being two options to consider after impressive quarterly results on Thursday.

Synaptics Electronics Solutions Presence  

Since the pandemic, Synaptics has positioned itself well to capitalize as a leader in human interface solutions such as touchpads for notebook computers, capacitive touch screen controllers for handsets, and biometric fingerprint solutions for mobile devices.

Synaptics stock popped +11% today following its strong fiscal first-quarter results after market hours on Thursday. Earnings of $0.52 per share easily surpassed Q1 expectations of $0.38 a share with sales coming in at $237.70 million and 2% above estimates.

Facing an extremely tough to-compete-against quarter that saw Q1 EPS at $3.52 per share and sales at $448.10 million, the strengthening prospects of Synaptics may have been overlooked. To that point, annual EPS is now forecasted to dip to $3.18 per share in Synaptics' current fiscal 2024 but SYNA trades reasonably at 27.8X forward earnings which is roughly on par with its Zacks Electronics-Semiconductors industry average.

Furthermore, FY25 earnings are forecasted to rebound and soar 139% to $7.61 per share as the company’s bottom line has expanded significantly from pre-pandemic levels with 2019 earnings at $2.50 a share.

Verra’s Expansion Among Security & Safety Services

Verra’s attractive stock price at $20 a share is compelling considering the company’s expansion in recent years as a smart mobility technology solutions provider. Going puplic in 2018, Verra offers speed, bus lane, railroad crossing, and school bus top arm enforcement and enforcement ticketing along with crash reports and video-enabled crime data analysis solutions.

With increasing demand for Verra’s services, VRRM shares spiked +4% today after Q3 earnings of $0.29 per share reassuringly topped expectations by 7% on Thursday and rose 7% from the prior year quarter as well. Quarterly sales of $209.93 million slightly surpassed estimates of $208.59 million and were up 6% YoY.

Furthermore, investors are not paying a premium for Verra’s intriguing growth as VRRM shares trade on par with the Zacks Security and Safety Services industry average of 18.4X forward earnings and below the benchmark.
