Heading into today, shares of the airplane builder had lost 7.43% over the past month, lagging the Aerospace sector's loss of 2.13% and the S&P 500's loss of 5.26% in that time.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from BA as it approaches its next earnings report date. In that report, analysts expect BA to post earnings of $1.81 per share. This would mark a year-over-year decline of 45.65%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $19.48 billion, down 19.69% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $14.43 per share and revenue of $98.87 billion. These totals would mark changes of -9.87% and -2.23%, respectively, from last year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for BA. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. 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. 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.
The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell).
