Read MoreHide Full Article
The upcoming report from SBA Communications (SBAC - Free Report) is expected to reveal quarterly earnings of $3.36 per share, indicating a decline of 0.3% compared to the year-ago period. Analysts forecast revenues of $681.71 million, representing an increase of 1% year over year.
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.2% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This reflects how the analysts covering the stock have collectively reevaluated their initial estimates during this timeframe.
Before a company announces its earnings, it is essential to take into account any changes made to earnings estimates. This is a valuable factor in predicting the potential reactions of investors toward the stock. Empirical research has consistently shown a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and the short-term price performance of a stock.
While investors typically use consensus earnings and revenue estimates as a yardstick to evaluate the company's quarterly performance, scrutinizing analysts' projections for some of the company's key metrics can offer a more comprehensive perspective.
