Shell (SHEL) Beats Stock Market Upswing: What Investors Need to Know
Read MoreHide Full Article
In the latest trading session, Shell (SHEL - Free Report) closed at $70.99, marking a +2.23% move from the previous day. The stock's change was more than the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.8%. At the same time, the Dow added 0.94%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq gained 0.97%.
Prior to today's trading, shares of the oil and gas company had gained 5.15% outpaced the Oils-Energy sector's gain of 3.8% and the S&P 500's gain of 5.12%.
The investment community will be closely monitoring the performance of Shell in its forthcoming earnings report. In that report, analysts expect Shell to post earnings of $1.47 per share. This would mark a year-over-year decline of 25.38%. In the meantime, our current consensus estimate forecasts the revenue to be $68.87 billion, indicating a 8.25% decline compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior year.
For the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates project earnings of $6.15 per share and a revenue of $273.19 billion, demonstrating changes of -18.22% and -5.48%, respectively, from the preceding year.
It's also important for investors to be aware of any recent modifications to analyst estimates for Shell. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the business outlook.
Our research demonstrates that these adjustments in estimates directly associate with imminent stock price performance. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell). It has a remarkable, outside-audited track record of success, with #1 stocks delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Over the past month, there's been a 0.19% fall in the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. Currently, Shell is carrying a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
Investors should also note Shell's current valuation metrics, including its Forward P/E ratio of 11.3. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 10.78, so one might conclude that Shell is trading at a premium comparatively.
It is also worth noting that SHEL currently has a PEG ratio of 1.81. The PEG ratio bears resemblance to the frequently used P/E ratio, but this parameter also includes the company's expected earnings growth trajectory. As the market closed yesterday, the Oil and Gas - Integrated - International industry was having an average PEG ratio of 1.81.
The Oil and Gas - Integrated - International industry is part of the Oils-Energy sector. This industry, currently bearing a Zacks Industry Rank of 192, finds itself in the bottom 22% echelons of all 250+ industries.
The Zacks Industry Rank assesses the vigor of our specific industry groups by computing the average Zacks Rank of the individual stocks incorporated in the groups. Our research shows that the top 50% rated industries outperform the bottom half by a factor of 2 to 1.
