Wall Street will be looking for positivity from DVN as it approaches its next earnings report date. In that report, analysts expect DVN to post earnings of $0.86 per share.

DVN's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $2.78 per share and revenue of $10.48 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +3188.89% and +117.11%, respectively.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for DVN 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.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. 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.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988.
