Wall Street will be looking for positivity from O as it approaches its next earnings report date. This is expected to be August 5, 2019. On that day, O is projected to report earnings of $0.81 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 1.25%.

For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $3.30 per share and revenue of $1.47 billion, which would represent changes of +3.45% and +10.38%, respectively, from the prior year.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for O. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-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). It has a remarkable, outside-audited track record of success, with #1 stocks delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
