Read MoreHide Full Article
Boeing (BA - Free Report) closed at $368.56 in the latest trading session, marking a -1.44% move from the prior day. This change lagged the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.3%. Elsewhere, the Dow gained 0.15%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq added 0.42%.
Coming into today, shares of the airplane builder had gained 4.24% in the past month. In that same time, the Aerospace sector gained 5.21%, while the S&P 500 gained 2.2%.
Investors will be hoping for strength from BA as it approaches its next earnings release. In that report, analysts expect BA to post earnings of $1.81 per share. This would mark a year-over-year decline of 45.65%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $19.48 billion, down 19.69% from the prior-year quarter.
BA's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $14.37 per share and revenue of $98.87 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of -10.24% and -2.23%, respectively.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for BA. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. 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.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988. The Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has moved 0.46% lower within the past month. BA is holding a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now.
