Investors will be hoping for strength from NRZ as it approaches its next earnings release, which is expected to be February 12, 2019. On that day, NRZ is projected to report earnings of $0.55 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 9.84%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $242.80 million, up 3.2% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $2.35 per share and revenue of $1.01 billion. These totals would mark changes of -16.96% and -4.73%, respectively, from last year.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for NRZ. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. 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.
