NetEase (NTES - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $337.85, moving -1.42% from the previous trading session. This change lagged the S&P 500's daily gain of 1.13%. At the same time, the Dow added 1.68%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq gained 0.43%.
Coming into today, shares of the internet technology company had gained 4.48% in the past month. In that same time, the Computer and Technology sector gained 5.2%, while the S&P 500 gained 2.1%.
NTES will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release. The company is expected to report EPS of $3.02, up 13.53% from the prior-year quarter. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $2.16 billion, down 25.31% from the prior-year quarter.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for NTES should also be noted by investors. 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. 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.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988. The Zacks Consensus EPS estimate remained stagnant within the past month. NTES currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy).
Valuation is also important, so investors should note that NTES has a Forward P/E ratio of 22.13 right now. This valuation marks a discount compared to its industry's average Forward P/E of 23.24.
Investors should also note that NTES has a PEG ratio of 0.53 right now.
