Beware negative earnings growth: Pro

Three companies stand to do well amid an environment of cost-cutting, Erin Gibbs of S&P Capital IQ said Monday.

"Our big concern is all about this negative revenue growth," she said. "Right now, the revenue growth for Q2 is actually negative-0.6," she said. "It's the first time we've seen negative revenue growth since we came out of the recession in 2009."

On CNBC's "Fast Money," Gibbs added that the missed revenue growth would have to be made up in the second half of the year.

"Obviously, earnings are still increasing," she said. "We still have positive earnings, but you can only cost-cut so much."

Gibbs said a few of the companies she liked were those that would do well as they continued to cut costs.

Robert Half, PetSmart and Dollar Tree were among her top picks.

Robert Half, Gibbs said, would benefit from a weak employment report.

"We see a lot of part-time employment increasing and not as much full-time, and this one of the companies that can take advantage of these," she added.
