Heading into today, shares of the audio technology company had lost 7.28% over the past month, lagging the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 6.46% and the S&P 500's gain of 4.67% in that time.
HEAR will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release, which is expected to be May 8, 2019. In that report, analysts expect HEAR to post earnings of $0.03 per share. This would mark a year-over-year decline of 81.25%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $41.70 million, up 1.98% from the year-ago period.
HEAR's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $0.85 per share and revenue of $244.43 million. These results would represent year-over-year changes of -72.13% and -14.96%, respectively.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for HEAR should also be noted by investors. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest 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. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
