Read MoreHide Full Article
BRF (BRFS - Free Report) closed at $3.52 in the latest trading session, marking a -7.12% move from the prior day. This move lagged the S&P 500's daily loss of 0.37%. On the other hand, the Dow registered a loss of 0.74%, and the technology-centric Nasdaq decreased by 0.03%.
Heading into today, shares of the chicken, beef and pork producer had gained 5.57% over the past month, outpacing the Consumer Staples sector's loss of 1.68% and the S&P 500's gain of 2.68%.
Investors will be eagerly watching for the performance of BRF in its upcoming earnings disclosure. The company is predicted to post an EPS of $0.11, indicating constancy compared to the equivalent quarter last year.
For the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates project earnings of $0.39 per share and a revenue of $12.15 billion, demonstrating changes of +8.33% and +11.05%, respectively, from the preceding year.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for BRF. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the business outlook.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. 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, ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), possesses a remarkable history of outdoing, externally audited, with #1 stocks returning an average annual gain of +25% since 1988. Within the past 30 days, our consensus EPS projection remained stagnant. Currently, BRF is carrying a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
From a valuation perspective, BRF is currently exchanging hands at a Forward P/E ratio of 9.72. For comparison, its industry has an average Forward P/E of 16.35, which means BRF is trading at a discount to the group.
It is also worth noting that BRFS currently has a PEG ratio of 0.24. Comparable to the widely accepted P/E ratio, the PEG ratio also accounts for the company's projected earnings growth. As the market closed yesterday, the Food - Miscellaneous industry was having an average PEG ratio of 1.68.
The Food - Miscellaneous industry is part of the Consumer Staples sector. This industry, currently bearing a Zacks Industry Rank of 179, finds itself in the bottom 28% echelons of all 250+ industries.
