What the Zacks Model Unveils for EVER
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for EVER this time around. This is because the stock needs to have the right combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy), or 3 (Hold). But that is not the case, as you can see below.
You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Earnings ESP: EVER has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%. This is because both the Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate are pegged at 32 cents.
The insurer’s first-quarter results are expected to benefit from auto insurance and homeowners’ insurance market recovery, as well as improved operational efficiency.
Its expansion into new verticals, increase in consumer traffic, higher quote request volume and innovative advertiser products and services are likely to have driven revenues.
Everquote’s top line is likely to have benefited from improved performance in both Automotive as well as Home and Renters. EverQuote expects revenues to be between $155 million and $160 million in the first quarter of 2025, indicating 73% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.
Total expenses are likely to have increased largely due to higher sales and marketing expenses. Our estimate for total expense is $137.8 million.
Variable marketing margin is likely to have improved due to lower advertising costs coupled with growth in revenue per quote request. We estimate variable marketing margin to be $45.6 million. EVER estimates variable marketing margin in the band of $44-$46 million. The Zacks Consensus estimate is pegged at $45.4 million.
