AbbVie (ABBV - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $89.09, moving -1.13% from the previous trading session. This change was narrower than the S&P 500's 1.16% loss on the day. Elsewhere, the Dow lost 1.84%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 0.13%.
Prior to today's trading, shares of the drugmaker had lost 5.35% over the past month. This has lagged the Medical sector's loss of 0.29% and the S&P 500's loss of 1.96% in that time.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from ABBV as it approaches its next earnings report date. In that report, analysts expect ABBV to post earnings of $2.79 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 19.74%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $12.85 billion, up 51.52% from the prior-year quarter.
ABBV's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $10.46 per share and revenue of $45.45 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +17% and +36.62%, respectively.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for ABBV 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.
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.
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.
