Heading into today, shares of the chipmaker had gained 2.06% over the past month, lagging the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 2.81% and outpacing the S&P 500's gain of 1.68% in that time.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from NXPI as it approaches its next earnings report date. The company is expected to report EPS of $2.31, up 230% from the prior-year quarter. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $2.57 billion, up 41.54% from the year-ago period.
NXPI's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $9.62 per share and revenue of $10.55 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +22.55% and +22.53%, respectively.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for NXPI 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.
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.
The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell). It has a remarkable, outside-audited track record of success, with #1 stocks delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
