Read MoreHide Full Article
Nutrien (NTR - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $79.59, moving -1.95% from the previous trading session. This move lagged the S&P 500's daily loss of 1.53%. Elsewhere, the Dow lost 1.72%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 3.27%.
Heading into today, shares of the producer of potash and other fertilizers had lost 1.9% over the past month, lagging the Basic Materials sector's loss of 0.06% and the S&P 500's loss of 1.28% in that time.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from Nutrien as it approaches its next earnings report date. In that report, analysts expect Nutrien to post earnings of $1.86 per share. This would mark a year-over-year decline of 31.11%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $6.92 billion, down 9.58% from the year-ago period.
NTR's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $10.25 per share and revenue of $32.45 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of -22.29% and -14.34%, respectively.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for Nutrien should also be noted by investors. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell). It has a remarkable, outside-audited track record of success, with #1 stocks delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Within the past 30 days, our consensus EPS projection has moved 18.72% lower. Nutrien is holding a Zacks Rank of #5 (Strong Sell) right now.
Valuation is also important, so investors should note that Nutrien has a Forward P/E ratio of 7.92 right now. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 7.53, so we one might conclude that Nutrien is trading at a premium comparatively.
It is also worth noting that NTR currently has a PEG ratio of 0.99. The PEG ratio is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but this metric also takes the company's expected earnings growth rate into account. The Fertilizers was holding an average PEG ratio of 1.03 at yesterday's closing price.
