Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $278.41 million, up 68.12% from the prior-year quarter.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $5.36 per share and revenue of $1.07 billion. These totals would mark changes of +441.41% and +54.68%, respectively, from last year.
