Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $4.11 billion, up 78.76% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $12.27 per share and revenue of $19.52 billion. These totals would mark changes of +143.45% and +57.96%, respectively, from last year.
