Prior to today's trading, shares of the chipmaking equipment services company had lost 3.34% over the past month. This has lagged the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 7.15% and the S&P 500's gain of 2.23% in that time.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from UCTT as it approaches its next earnings report date. On that day, UCTT is projected to report earnings of $0.95 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 26.67%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $507.61 million, up 47.23% from the year-ago period.
UCTT's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $3.86 per share and revenue of $2 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +37.86% and +42.87%, respectively.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for UCTT. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell). It has a remarkable, outside-audited track record of success, with #1 stocks delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
