Read MoreHide Full Article
Petrobras (PBR - Free Report) closed at $10.68 in the latest trading session, marking a -1.39% move from the prior day. This change lagged the S&P 500's daily loss of 0.75%.
Heading into today, shares of the oil and gas company had lost 5.08% over the past month, outpacing the Oils-Energy sector's loss of 8.62% and lagging the S&P 500's gain of 2.74% in that time.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from PBR as it approaches its next earnings report date. The company is expected to report EPS of $0.57, up 250% from the prior-year quarter. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $16.48 billion, up 73.79% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $1.72 per share and revenue of $68.93 billion. These totals would mark changes of +300% and +28.41%, respectively, from last year.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for PBR. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
