Coming into today, shares of the real estate investment trust had lost 5% in the past month. In that same time, the Finance sector gained 0.15%, while the S&P 500 lost 0.35%.
Investors will be hoping for strength from O as it approaches its next earnings release, which is expected to be February 22, 2021. On that day, O is projected to report earnings of $0.84 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 2.33%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $417.54 million, up 5.03% from the prior-year quarter.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for O. 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.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. 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.
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.
