Coming into today, shares of the department store operator had lost 17.81% in the past month. In that same time, the Retail-Wholesale sector gained 4%, while the S&P 500 gained 1.54%.
Investors will be hoping for strength from Nordstrom as it approaches its next earnings release. On that day, Nordstrom is projected to report earnings of $0.81 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 65.31%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $3.97 billion, up 8.49% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $3.21 per share and revenue of $15.73 billion. These totals would mark changes of +191.82% and +6.33%, respectively, from last year.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for Nordstrom. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. 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. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
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. Within the past 30 days, our consensus EPS projection remained stagnant. Nordstrom is holding a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now.
In terms of valuation, Nordstrom is currently trading at a Forward P/E ratio of 6.19. For comparison, its industry has an average Forward P/E of 8.14, which means Nordstrom is trading at a discount to the group.
