IT has an impressive earnings surprise history. In the four trailing quarters, it surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate, with an average surprise of 21.3%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line is pinned at $1.5 billion, rising 2.3% from the year-ago quarter’s actual.
The consensus estimate for the Business and Technology Insights segment’s revenues is pegged at $1.3 billion, suggesting 3.1% year-over-year growth. We expect this segment to have been fueled by addressing high-demand topics for clients, particularly AI.
The consensus estimate for Consulting revenues is set at $133 million, implying a 13.1% drop from that reported in the same quarter last year. For Conferences, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is set at $77 million, suggesting a decline of 69.3% from the prior-year quarter’s actual.
The consensus estimate for earnings per share is $2.41, hinting at a year-over-year fall of 3.6%.
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.
Gartner has an Earnings ESP of -4.07% and a Zacks Rank of 3 at present.
