Read MoreHide Full Article

Have you been eager to see how The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BK - Free Report) performed in Q4 in comparison with the market expectations? Let’s quickly scan through the key facts from this New York-based financial services company’s earnings release this morning:

An Earnings Miss

BNY Mellon came out with adjusted earnings of 77 cents per share, which lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 78 cents.

Lower investment and other income along with a fall in foreign exchange and other trading revenue were mainly responsible for earnings miss.    

How Was the Estimate Revision Trend?

You should note that the earnings estimate revisions for BNY Mellon depicted a bullish stance prior to the earnings release. The Zacks Consensus Estimate rose by a penny over the last 30 days.

BNY Mellon has a decent earnings surprise history. Before posting earnings miss in Q4, the company delivered positive surprises in all the prior four quarters, with an average beat of 6.9% in the trailing four quarters.

What Zacks Rank Says

The estimate revisions that we discussed earlier have driven a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for BNY Mellon. However, since the latest earnings performance is yet to be reflected in the estimate revisions, the rank is subject to change. While things apparently look unfavorable, it all depends on what sense the just-released report makes to the analysts.
