Prior to today's trading, shares of the audio technology company had lost 24.92% over the past month. This has lagged the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 5.14% and the S&P 500's gain of 4.3% in that time.
Investors will be hoping for strength from HEAR as it approaches its next earnings release. On that day, HEAR is projected to report earnings of $0.03 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 81.25%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $41.70 million, up 1.98% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $0.85 per share and revenue of $244.43 million. These totals would mark changes of -72.13% and -14.96%, respectively, from last year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for HEAR should also be noted by investors. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
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.
