Read MoreHide Full Article
Wall Street analysts forecast that Qualcomm (QCOM - Free Report) will report quarterly earnings of $2.25 per share in its upcoming release, pointing to a year-over-year increase of 20.3%. It is anticipated that revenues will amount to $9.19 billion, exhibiting an increase of 8.7% compared to the year-ago quarter.
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This reflects how the analysts covering the stock have collectively reevaluated their initial estimates during this timeframe.
Before a company announces its earnings, it is essential to take into account any changes made to earnings estimates. This is a valuable factor in predicting the potential reactions of investors toward the stock. Empirical research has consistently shown a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and the short-term price performance of a stock.
