Earnings History

The Zacks Rank cares more about earnings estimate revisions that the earnings history, but one look at the earnings history for B, and you have to smile.  I see the company posting 4 straight beats of the Zacks Consensus Estimate with an average positive earnings surprise of 22%.

Estimate Revisions

Over the last week or so, estimates have fallen for B.  This quarter slipped to 34 cents from 37 cents and next quarter dropped a penny.  

Stretch that time horizon out to 60 days and the drops increase to 4 cents and 3 cents respectively.  

The Zacks Rank cares more about the full year numbers and only this year has fallen.  I see that number moving from $1.82 to $1.75 over the last 60 days and that is what pushed this stock to become a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell)
