Read MoreHide Full Article
Enterprise Products Partners (EPD - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $24.02, moving +0.13% from the previous trading session. This change lagged the S&P 500's 0.3% gain on the day.
Prior to today's trading, shares of the provider of midstream energy services had gained 7.87% over the past month. This has lagged the Oils-Energy sector's gain of 14.29% and outpaced the S&P 500's loss of 2.37% in that time.
Investors will be hoping for strength from EPD as it approaches its next earnings release. On that day, EPD is projected to report earnings of $0.52 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 8.33%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $8.99 billion, up 29.86% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $2.17 per share and revenue of $36.69 billion. These totals would mark changes of +2.84% and +34.88%, respectively, from last year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for EPD. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of 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. 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.
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. Within the past 30 days, our consensus EPS projection has moved 0.4% higher. EPD is holding a Zacks Rank of #4 (Sell) right now.
In terms of valuation, EPD is currently trading at a Forward P/E ratio of 11.06. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 10.26, so we one might conclude that EPD is trading at a premium comparatively.
