Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $19.48 billion, down 19.69% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $14.37 per share and revenue of $98.87 billion. These totals would mark changes of -10.24% and -2.23%, respectively, from last year.
