RadioShack Corp. (RSH) announced its third quarter results today. Net revenues came in at $990 million, down 3.1% year over year. However, this was better than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $981 million.

When you invest in a stock, one of the best things you can see is analysts raising their expectations about what the company is going to earn for the current fiscal year. There are several ways of measuring this, but the following is a list of the companies with the biggest increases in their consensus earnings expectations for this year over the last month.

To make the list, a company had to have a current mean (average) estimate of over 50 cents, be a member of the S&P 500 and have at least three estimates for this year. The 50-cent restriction was put in to prevent small dollar changes that are huge percentage moves from dominating the list (going from a penny expected to a nickel).

RadioShack Corp. (RSH) shares fell sharply on Tuesday after the third-largest U.S. electronics chain reported a 39% decline in quarterly profit as cash-strapped consumers shied away from spending on GPS navigation devices and expensive cameras.
