Finally, we have OmniVision posing for its quarterly picture. OmniVision was a market darling a couple of years ago as the leading maker of image sensors. As smartphones and tablets exploded in popularity — and quality cameras became a predominant one-upmanship feature — OmniVision was swamped with orders.

The market took a competitive turn, and OmniVision’s margins suffered. OmniVision has posted year-over-year declines in profitability for five consecutive quarters. That streak will likely come to a welcome end on Thursday. Wall Street sees profitability more than tripling to $0.41 a share. Yes, that’s less than half what OmniVision earned during the same fiscal third quarter two years ago, but the company is finally starting to convincingly head in the right direction.

Cross those fingers, but know the fundamentals
Investors in these five stocks have a right to be excited. They are all improving their financial situations. They are worthy of the gains that the market rally has bestowed upon them over the past year.

I wouldn’t be uncomfortable owning any of these companies. They’re doing the right thing, regardless of Mr. Market’s mood swings.

The expectations may be high, but these five stocks wouldn’t have it any other way.
