Prior to today's trading, shares of the solar power product maker had lost 9.8% over the past month. This has lagged the Oils-Energy sector's gain of 0.03% and the S&P 500's gain of 2.8% in that time.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from JKS as it approaches its next earnings report date. On that day, JKS is projected to report earnings of $0.28 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 31.71%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $928.36 million, up 1.36% from the year-ago period.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $2.79 per share and revenue of $4.27 billion, which would represent changes of +70.12% and +14.18%, respectively, from the prior year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for JKS should also be noted by investors. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for 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, which ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has moved 6.38% lower. JKS is holding a Zacks Rank of #4 (Sell) right now.
Valuation is also important, so investors should note that JKS has a Forward P/E ratio of 7.32 right now. This represents a discount compared to its industry's average Forward P/E of 20.49.
We can also see that JKS currently has a PEG ratio of 0.37. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. Solar stocks are, on average, holding a PEG ratio of 0.88 based on yesterday's closing prices.
The Solar industry is part of the Oils-Energy sector. This industry currently has a Zacks Industry Rank of 50, which puts it in the top 20% of all 250+ industries.
