Read MoreHide Full Article
In its upcoming report, Post Holdings (POST - Free Report) is predicted by Wall Street analysts to post quarterly earnings of $1.18 per share, reflecting a decline of 21.9% compared to the same period last year. Revenues are forecasted to be $1.98 billion, representing a year-over-year decrease of 1.1%.
The current level reflects no revision in the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter over the past 30 days. This demonstrates how the analysts covering the stock have collectively reappraised their initial projections over this period.
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 indicators of quarterly business performance, exploring analysts' projections for specific key metrics can offer valuable insights.
That said, let's delve into the average estimates of some Post Holdings metrics that Wall Street analysts commonly model and monitor.
