Toyota Motor Corporation (TM - Free Report) closed at $155.38 in the latest trading session, marking a +0.79% move from the prior day. This move lagged the S&P 500's daily gain of 1.44%.
Heading into today, shares of the company had gained 3.8% over the past month, lagging the Auto-Tires-Trucks sector's gain of 9.2% and the S&P 500's gain of 6.26% in that time.
TM will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release. On that day, TM is projected to report earnings of $3.55 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 688.89%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $71.25 billion, up 9.3% from the year-ago period.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for TM should also be noted by investors. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about the company's business outlook.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. 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.
