Read MoreHide Full Article
Dropbox (DBX - Free Report) ended the recent trading session at $23.31, demonstrating a +0.56% swing from the preceding day's closing price. This move outpaced the S&P 500's daily loss of 1.39%. On the other hand, the Dow registered a gain of 0.6%, and the technology-centric Nasdaq decreased by 2.77%.
Prior to today's trading, shares of the online file-sharing company had gained 11.66% over the past month. This has outpaced the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 1.25% and the S&P 500's gain of 4.43% in that time.
The investment community will be closely monitoring the performance of Dropbox in its forthcoming earnings report. It is anticipated that the company will report an EPS of $0.52, marking a 1.96% rise compared to the same quarter of the previous year. At the same time, our most recent consensus estimate is projecting a revenue of $629.65 million, reflecting a 1.15% rise from the equivalent quarter last year.
DBX's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $2.12 per share and revenue of $2.54 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +7.07% and +1.66%, respectively.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for Dropbox. Such recent modifications usually signify the changing landscape of near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Our research suggests that these changes in estimates have a direct relationship with upcoming stock price performance. To capitalize on this, we've crafted the Zacks Rank, a unique model that incorporates these estimate changes and offers a practical rating system.
The Zacks Rank system, running from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), holds an admirable track record of superior performance, independently audited, with #1 stocks contributing an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has remained unchanged. As of now, Dropbox holds a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
With respect to valuation, Dropbox is currently being traded at a Forward P/E ratio of 10.93. For comparison, its industry has an average Forward P/E of 24.18, which means Dropbox is trading at a discount to the group.
