Prior to today's trading, shares of the real estate investment trust had gained 10.03% over the past month. This has outpaced the Finance sector's gain of 2.27% and the S&P 500's gain of 5.04% in that time.
Ready Capital will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release. On that day, Ready Capital is projected to report earnings of $0.65 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 58.54%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $71.51 million, up 216.28% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $2.14 per share and revenue of $293.66 million. These totals would mark changes of -6.55% and +54.61%, respectively, from last year.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for Ready Capital. 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.
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.
The Zacks Rank system, which ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. The Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has moved 15.08% higher within the past month. Ready Capital is holding a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) right now.
Investors should also note Ready Capital's current valuation metrics, including its Forward P/E ratio of 7.32. For comparison, its industry has an average Forward P/E of 8.95, which means Ready Capital is trading at a discount to the group.
The REIT and Equity Trust industry is part of the Finance sector. This industry currently has a Zacks Industry Rank of 233, which puts it in the bottom 9% of all 250+ industries.
