IT has an impressive earnings surprise history. In the four trailing quarters, it surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate, with an average surprise of 23.5%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line is pegged at $1.5 billion, hinting at a 4.2% rise from the year-ago quarter’s actual. The top line is anticipated to have been driven by the Research segment.
Going by segment, the consensus estimate for Research revenues is pegged at $1.3 billion, indicating 4.6% year-over-year growth. The surge in Global Technology Sales contract value and improvement in the contract value of tech vendor clients are expected to have contributed to this segment’s revenue growth.
The consensus mark for Consulting revenues is pegged at $113.1 million, suggesting a 16.1% fall from the year-ago quarter’s actual. For Conferences, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $92.8, implying a 16.1% year-over-year decline.
The consensus estimate for earnings per share is pegged at $2.72, indicating a year-over-year decline of 7.2%. We expect the detriment in the bottom line to have been caused by rising operating expenses.
What Our Model Says About IT
Our proven model does not predict an earnings beat for IT this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that is not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
