The distributor of water and fire protection products's shares have seen a decrease of 7.14% over the last month, not keeping up with the Business Services sector's loss of 1.9% and the S&P 500's loss of 3.2%.
The investment community will be closely monitoring the performance of Core & Main in its forthcoming earnings report. In that report, analysts expect Core & Main to post earnings of $0.73 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 10.61%. Simultaneously, our latest consensus estimate expects the revenue to be $2.03 billion, showing a 9.04% escalation compared to the year-ago quarter.
CNM's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $2.32 per share and revenue of $7.47 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +7.91% and +11.42%, respectively.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for Core & Main. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. Therefore, positive revisions in estimates convey analysts' confidence in the company's business performance and profit potential.
Our research demonstrates that these adjustments in estimates directly associate with imminent stock price performance. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
