For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $6.32 per share and revenue of $93.60 billion, which would represent changes of -53.53% and +3.29%, respectively, from the prior year.

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.
