Coming into today, shares of the automaker had lost 5.57% in the past month. In that same time, the Auto-Tires-Trucks sector lost 10.57%, while the S&P 500 lost 3.01%.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from F as it approaches its next earnings report date. This is expected to be October 24, 2018. In that report, analysts expect F to post earnings of $0.33 per share. This would mark a year-over-year decline of 23.26%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $34.49 billion, up 2.5% from the prior-year quarter.
F's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $1.34 per share and revenue of $146.08 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of -24.72% and -1.65%, respectively.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for F. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has moved 2.9% lower. F is currently a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
Valuation is also important, so investors should note that F has a Forward P/E ratio of 6.58 right now. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 11.6, so we one might conclude that F is trading at a discount comparatively.
Also, we should mention that F has a PEG ratio of 1.24. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. Automotive - Domestic stocks are, on average, holding a PEG ratio of 1.24 based on yesterday's closing prices.
The Automotive - Domestic industry is part of the Auto-Tires-Trucks sector. This industry currently has a Zacks Industry Rank of 196, which puts it in the bottom 23% of all 250+ industries.
