Prior to today's trading, shares of the real estate investment trust had gained 3.75% over the past month. This has outpaced the Finance sector's gain of 1.72% and the S&P 500's gain of 0.38% in that time.
O will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release. The company is expected to report EPS of $0.83, up 2.47% from the prior-year quarter. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $374.14 million, up 10.67% from the year-ago period.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $3.29 per share and revenue of $1.48 billion, which would represent changes of +3.13% and +11.41%, respectively, from the prior year.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for O. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. 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. The Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has moved 0.17% higher within the past month. O currently has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
