Prior to today's trading, shares of the cybersecurity software and services company had lost 9.29% over the past month. This has lagged the Computer and Technology sector's loss of 5.96% and the S&P 500's loss of 2.57% in that time.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from BB as it approaches its next earnings report date. This is expected to be December 19, 2018. On that day, BB is projected to report earnings of $0.02 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 33.33%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $212.58 million, down 5.94% from the year-ago period.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $0.11 per share and revenue of $880.89 million, which would represent changes of -21.43% and -8.05%, respectively, from the prior year.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for BB. 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.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. 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.
