Coming into today, shares of the oil and gas company had gained 1.77% in the past month. In that same time, the Oils-Energy sector gained 2.43%, while the S&P 500 lost 3.75%.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from Shell as it approaches its next earnings report date. The company is expected to report EPS of $2.90, up 173.58% from the prior-year quarter.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for Shell should also be noted by investors. 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. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, 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. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate remained stagnant. Shell currently has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
Valuation is also important, so investors should note that Shell has a Forward P/E ratio of 4.73 right now. For comparison, its industry has an average Forward P/E of 4.25, which means Shell is trading at a premium to the group.
