Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $2.18 per share and revenue of $3.22 billion. These totals would mark changes of +136.96% and +28.79%, respectively, from last year.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for VSH. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about the company's business outlook.
