Heading into today, shares of the internet video service had lost 17.54% over the past month, outpacing the Consumer Discretionary sector's loss of 32.38% and the S&P 500's loss of 24.68% in that time.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from NFLX as it approaches its next earnings report date. The company is expected to report EPS of $1.66, up 118.42% from the prior-year quarter. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $5.74 billion, up 26.97% from the year-ago period.
NFLX's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $6.13 per share and revenue of $24.38 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +48.43% and +20.97%, respectively.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for NFLX. 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.
