An Earnings Beat
SunTrust came out with adjusted earnings per share of $1.33, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.29.
A rise in revenues supported the results.
How Was the Estimate Revision Trend?
You should note that the earnings estimate revisions for SunTrust depicted a bearish stance prior to the earnings release. The Zacks Consensus Estimate declined nearly 1% over the past seven days.
Notably, SunTrust has a decent earnings surprise history. Before posting earnings beat in Q1, the company delivered positive surprises in three of the trailing four quarters, with average beat of 10.2%.
SunTrust posted net revenues of $2.33 billion, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.30 billion.

Average consumer and commercial deposits stood at $159.9 billion
Average loans held for investment were $154.3 billion
Common Equity Tier 1 ratio (fully phased-in) was 9.11% as of Mar 31, 2019
What Zacks Rank Says
SunTrust currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). However, since the latest earnings performance is yet to be reflected in the estimate revisions, the rank is subject to change. While things apparently look favorable, it all depends on what sense the just-released report makes to the analysts.
