Prior to today's trading, shares of the jeans maker had gained 1.23% over the past month. This has lagged the Retail-Wholesale sector's gain of 3.08% and outpaced the S&P 500's gain of 0.22% in that time.
The upcoming earnings release of Levi Strauss will be of great interest to investors. The company is expected to report EPS of $0.47, up 6.82% from the prior-year quarter. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $1.72 billion, up 4.54% from the prior-year quarter.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for Levi Strauss should also be noted by investors. These latest adjustments often mirror the shifting dynamics of short-term business patterns. Consequently, upward revisions in estimates express analysts' positivity towards the company's business operations and its ability to generate profits.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To take advantage of this, we've established the Zacks Rank, an exclusive model that considers these estimated changes and delivers an operational 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 remained stagnant. As of now, Levi Strauss holds a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
In the context of valuation, Levi Strauss is at present trading with a Forward P/E ratio of 12.46. This signifies a discount in comparison to the average Forward P/E of 17.52 for its industry.
