For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $3.17 per share and revenue of $11.31 billion, which would represent changes of +272.94% and +30.25%, respectively, from the prior year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for MOS. 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.
