Coming into today, shares of the chipmaker had gained 7.82% in the past month. In that same time, the Computer and Technology sector gained 5%, while the S&P 500 gained 3.96%.
Investors will be hoping for strength from AVGO as it approaches its next earnings release. On that day, AVGO is projected to report earnings of $5.17 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 5.94%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $5.66 billion, up 12.95% from the prior-year quarter.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $23.13 per share and revenue of $24.42 billion. These totals would mark changes of +11.1% and +17.14%, respectively, from last year.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for AVGO. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system, which ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
