Boeing (BA - Free Report) closed at $370.70 in the latest trading session, marking a -0.35% move from the prior day. This change lagged the S&P 500's daily loss of 0.25%. Meanwhile, the Dow gained 0.04%, and the Nasdaq, a tech-heavy index, lost 0.53%.
Prior to today's trading, shares of the airplane builder had gained 1.24% over the past month. This has outpaced the Aerospace sector's loss of 6.7% and the S&P 500's loss of 2.35% in that time.
Investors will be hoping for strength from BA as it approaches its next earnings release, which is expected to be January 30, 2019. The company is expected to report EPS of $4.49, down 6.46% from the prior-year quarter. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $27.01 billion, up 6.49% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $14.99 per share and revenue of $99.66 billion. These totals would mark changes of +24.5% and +6.71%, respectively, from last year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for BA. 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.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. 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.
