Read MoreHide Full Article
Analysts on Wall Street project that Qualcomm (QCOM - Free Report) will announce quarterly earnings of $3.37 per share in its forthcoming report, representing a decline of 1.2% year over year. Revenues are projected to reach $12.23 billion, increasing 4.8% from the same quarter last year.
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has undergone a downward revision of 2.5% in the past 30 days, bringing it to its present level. This represents how the covering analysts, as a whole, have reassessed their initial estimates during this timeframe.
Ahead of a company's earnings disclosure, it is crucial to give due consideration to changes in earnings estimates. These revisions serve as a noteworthy factor in predicting potential investor reactions to the stock. Numerous empirical studies consistently demonstrate a strong relationship between trends in earnings estimate revision and the short-term price performance of a stock.
While investors typically rely on consensus earnings and revenue estimates to gauge how the business may have fared during the quarter, examining analysts' projections for some of the company's key metrics often helps gain a deeper insight.
