Falling Earnings Estimates Signal Weakness Ahead for Playa Hotels & Resorts (PLYA)
Read MoreHide Full Article
Similar to wise buying decisions, exiting certain underperformers at the right time helps maximize portfolio returns. Selling off losers can be difficult, but if both the share price and estimates are falling, it could be time to get rid of the security before more losses hit your portfolio.
One such stock that you may want to consider dropping is Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V. (PLYA - Free Report) , which has witnessed a significant price decline in the past four weeks, and it has seen negative earnings estimate revisions for the current quarter and the current year. A Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) further confirms weakness in PLYA.
A key reason for this move has been the negative trend in earnings estimates revisions. For the full year, we have seen three estimates moving down in the past 30 days, compared with one upward revision. This trend has caused the consensus estimate to trend lower, going from 28 cents per share a month ago to its current level of 25 cents.
Also, for the current quarter, Playa Hotels & Resorts has seen two downward estimates revisions versus one revision in the opposite direction, dragging the consensus estimate to a loss of 3 cents a share from a loss of 1 cent over the past 30 days.
The stock has also seen some pretty dismal trading lately, as the share price has dropped 20.4% in the past month.
So it may not be a good decision to keep this stock in your portfolio anymore, at least if you don’t have a long time horizon to wait.
If you are still interested in the Hotels and Motels industry, you may instead consider a better-ranked stock – Belmond Ltd. . The stock currently holds a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and may be a better selection at this time. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $8 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $47 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
