Read MoreHide Full Article
In the latest trading session, BlackBerry (BB - Free Report) closed at $7.94, marking a +1.28% move from the previous day. This move outpaced the S&P 500's daily gain of 1.05%. At the same time, the Dow added 1.02%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq gained 1.66%.
Heading into today, shares of the cybersecurity software and services company had lost 10.18% over the past month, lagging the Computer and Technology sector's loss of 3.49% and the S&P 500's loss of 0.08% in that time.
Investors will be hoping for strength from BB as it approaches its next earnings release. On that day, BB is projected to report earnings of $0.01 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 66.67%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $249.12 million, up 14.8% from the prior-year quarter.
BB's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $0.10 per share and revenue of $1.13 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of -58.33% and +22.99%, respectively.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for BB. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about 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.
The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell). It has a remarkable, outside-audited track record of success, with #1 stocks delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate remained stagnant. BB is holding a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now.
Valuation is also important, so investors should note that BB has a Forward P/E ratio of 83.58 right now. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 13.77, so we one might conclude that BB is trading at a premium comparatively.
The Wireless Non-US industry is part of the Computer and Technology sector. This group has a Zacks Industry Rank of 218, putting it in the bottom 15% of all 250+ industries.
