The real estate investment trust's shares have seen a decrease of 4.92% over the last month, not keeping up with the Finance sector's loss of 4.27% and the S&P 500's loss of 2.7%.
Market participants will be closely following the financial results of Gladstone Commercial in its upcoming release. On that day, Gladstone Commercial is projected to report earnings of $0.35 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 2.78%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $37.45 million, up 4.29% from the prior-year quarter.
Additionally, investors should keep an eye on any recent revisions to analyst forecasts for Gladstone Commercial. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. 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.
