Honda Motor (HMC - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $30.43, moving +0.63% from the previous trading session. This move lagged the S&P 500's daily gain of 1.09%.
Heading into today, shares of the automaker had lost 0.03% over the past month, lagging the Auto-Tires-Trucks sector's gain of 0.42% and the S&P 500's gain of 5.05% in that time.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from HMC as it approaches its next earnings report date. In that report, analysts expect HMC to post earnings of $0.43 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 368.75%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $33.12 billion, up 4.31% from the year-ago period.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for HMC should also be noted by investors. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
