Shares of the company have depreciated by 11.07% over the course of the past month, outperforming the Computer and Technology sector's loss of 16.01% and the S&P 500's loss of 12.16%.
The upcoming earnings release of Alphabet Inc. will be of great interest to investors. On that day, Alphabet Inc. is projected to report earnings of $2.04 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 7.94%. Meanwhile, the latest consensus estimate predicts the revenue to be $75.62 billion, indicating a 11.87% increase compared to the same quarter of the previous year.
Regarding the entire year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates forecast earnings of $8.91 per share and revenue of $334.02 billion, indicating changes of +10.82% and +13.18%, respectively, compared to the previous year.
Furthermore, it would be beneficial for investors to monitor any recent shifts in analyst projections for Alphabet Inc. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To utilize this, we have created the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model that integrates these estimate changes and provides a functional 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.
