IT has an impressive earnings surprise history, having surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the four trailing quarters, with an average surprise of 19.5%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line is pegged at $1.6 billion, indicating a 5.4% rise from the year-ago quarter’s actual. The company’s revenues are likely to have gained from the improvement in its segmental performance.
Subscription revenues and contract value are anticipated to have driven the research segment’s revenues. The Conferences segment of the company delivers valuable insights to a highly engaged audience and is likely to have gained from the launch of conferences. Consulting assists clients in executing their strategic initiatives via deeper, extended project-based work. This segment’s revenues are expected to have been driven by the demand for labor-based services in the digital transformation sphere and cost optimization. It is likely to have been aided by contract optimization.
The consensus estimate for earnings per share is pegged at $3, suggesting year-over-year growth of 6.7%. The bottom line is expected to have benefited from strong margins.
