The company has an impressive earnings surprise history. Its earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 33.4%.
Q4 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ADEA’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $89.23 million, indicating a 13.6% year-over-year decrease.
The bottom-line estimate is pegged at 26 cents, down 36.6% from the year-ago reported actuals. Decreasing revenues, increasing research development costs and interest expenses are likely to have pressurized the company’s bottom line.
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for ADEA this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that’s not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
