Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $17.79 billion, down 9.97% from the prior-year quarter.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $9.22 per share and revenue of $71.44 billion. These totals would mark changes of +88.93% and -3.85%, respectively, from last year.
