Heading into today, shares of the oil and natural gas producer had lost 1.15% over the past month, lagging the Oils-Energy sector's loss of 0.03% and the S&P 500's gain of 3.08% in that time.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from AR as it approaches its next earnings report date. This is expected to be May 1, 2019. In that report, analysts expect AR to post earnings of $0.56 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 27.27%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $1.18 billion, up 14.36% from the year-ago period.
AR's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $0.79 per share and revenue of $4.54 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of -21% and +4.88%, respectively.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for AR. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. 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).
