In the latest trading session, Ford Motor Company (F - Free Report) closed at $12.20, marking a -1.45% move from the previous day. This change lagged the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.33%.
Coming into today, shares of the company had lost 6.43% in the past month. In that same time, the Auto-Tires-Trucks sector lost 2.06%, while the S&P 500 gained 4.77%.
F will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release, which is expected to be April 28, 2021. In that report, analysts expect F to post earnings of $0.14 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 160.87%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $32.63 billion, up 4.13% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $1.08 per share and revenue of $143.5 billion. These totals would mark changes of +163.41% and +23.85%, respectively, from last year.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for F. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for 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.
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 has moved 3.17% higher. F currently has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
