Simultaneously, our latest consensus estimate expects the revenue to be $1.41 billion, showing a 1.15% escalation compared to the year-ago quarter.
For the entire fiscal year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $11.7 per share and a revenue of $6.86 billion, representing changes of +21.88% and +0.75%, respectively, from the prior year.

Our research demonstrates that these adjustments in estimates directly associate with imminent stock price performance. To exploit this, we've formed the Zacks Rank, a quantitative model that includes these estimate changes and presents a viable rating system.
