For the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $0.39 per share and revenue of $12.15 billion, which would represent changes of +8.33% and +11.05%, respectively, from the prior year.
Investors should also take note of any recent adjustments to analyst estimates for BRF. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the business outlook.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-term stock moves. To take advantage of this, we've established the Zacks Rank, an exclusive model that considers these estimated changes and delivers an operational rating system.
The Zacks Rank system, which varies between #1 (Strong Buy) and #5 (Strong Sell), carries an impressive track record of exceeding expectations, confirmed by external audits, with stocks at #1 delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate remained stagnant. BRF is currently a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Valuation is also important, so investors should note that BRF has a Forward P/E ratio of 9.36 right now. This signifies a discount in comparison to the average Forward P/E of 15.08 for its industry.
Also, we should mention that BRFS has a PEG ratio of 0.23. Comparable to the widely accepted P/E ratio, the PEG ratio also accounts for the company's projected earnings growth. The Food - Miscellaneous industry had an average PEG ratio of 1.6 as trading concluded yesterday.
