Analog Devices (ADI - Free Report) closed at $120.29 in the latest trading session, marking a -0.69% move from the prior day. This change lagged the S&P 500's daily loss of 0.3%. Elsewhere, the Dow lost 0.8%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq added 0.64%.
Prior to today's trading, shares of the semiconductor maker had gained 3.48% over the past month. This has lagged the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 4.11% and outpaced the S&P 500's gain of 3.25% in that time.
Investors will be hoping for strength from ADI as it approaches its next earnings release. The company is expected to report EPS of $1.32, up 10.92% from the prior-year quarter. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $1.44 billion, up 0.01% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $4.79 per share and revenue of $5.52 billion. These totals would mark changes of -6.99% and -7.86%, respectively, from last year.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for ADI. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about 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. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate remained stagnant. ADI currently has a Zacks Rank of #4 (Sell).
Investors should also note ADI's current valuation metrics, including its Forward P/E ratio of 25.32. This represents a discount compared to its industry's average Forward P/E of 34.33.
We can also see that ADI currently has a PEG ratio of 2.53. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company's expected earnings growth rate. The Semiconductor - Analog and Mixed industry currently had an average PEG ratio of 2.49 as of yesterday's close.
