Coming into today, shares of the automaker had gained 4.42% in the past month. In that same time, the Auto-Tires-Trucks sector gained 4.17%, while the S&P 500 gained 4.3%.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from GM as it approaches its next earnings report date. This is expected to be April 30, 2019. On that day, GM is projected to report earnings of $1.07 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 25.17%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $35.95 billion, down 0.41% from the prior-year quarter.
GM's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $6.48 per share and revenue of $148.02 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of -0.92% and +0.66%, respectively.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for GM. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. 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. 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. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate remained stagnant. GM is holding a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now.
In terms of valuation, GM is currently trading at a Forward P/E ratio of 6.12. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 10.97, so we one might conclude that GM is trading at a discount comparatively.
Meanwhile, GM's PEG ratio is currently 0.69. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. GM's industry had an average PEG ratio of 1.3 as of yesterday's close.
