ALL's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $9.77 per share and revenue of $36.18 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +21.07% and -11.09%, respectively.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for ALL. 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.
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.
