Read MoreHide Full Article
In the latest trading session, Ericsson (ERIC - Free Report) closed at $9.03, marking a -1.74% move from the previous day. This change was narrower than the S&P 500's 2.59% loss on the day. Meanwhile, the Dow lost 2.72%, and the Nasdaq, a tech-heavy index, lost 2.19%.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from ERIC as it approaches its next earnings report date. This is expected to be July 17, 2020. In that report, analysts expect ERIC to post earnings of $0.07 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 16.67%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $5.59 billion, down 3.74% from the year-ago period.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $0.52 per share and revenue of $24.72 billion, which would represent changes of +372.73% and +3.01%, respectively, from the prior year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for ERIC 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.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
