Coming into today, shares of the cybersecurity software and services company had gained 10.36% in the past month. In that same time, the Computer and Technology sector gained 5.75%, while the S&P 500 gained 4.48%.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from BB as it approaches its next earnings report date. On that day, BB is projected to report earnings of $0.04 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 20%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $227.14 million, down 4.96% from the prior-year quarter.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $0.16 per share and revenue of $890.07 million, which would represent changes of +14.29% and -7.09%, respectively, from the prior year.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for BB. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell). It has a remarkable, outside-audited track record of success, with #1 stocks delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988.

Valuation is also important, so investors should note that BB has a Forward P/E ratio of 52.16 right now. This valuation marks a premium compared to its industry's average Forward P/E of 12.79.
