The equipment supplier to semiconductor makers's shares have seen a decrease of 7.81% over the last month, not keeping up with the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 2.77% and the S&P 500's gain of 2.17%.
The investment community will be closely monitoring the performance of ASML in its forthcoming earnings report. The company is scheduled to release its earnings on October 16, 2024. The company's upcoming EPS is projected at $5.57, signifying a 6.5% increase compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Alongside, our most recent consensus estimate is anticipating revenue of $7.66 billion, indicating a 5.42% upward movement from the same quarter last year.
ASML's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $20.38 per share and revenue of $30.18 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of -5.34% and +1.25%, respectively.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for ASML. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. Consequently, upward revisions in estimates express analysts' positivity towards the company's business operations and its ability to generate profits.
Our research demonstrates that these adjustments in estimates directly associate with imminent stock price performance. To utilize this, we have created the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model that integrates these estimate changes and provides a functional rating system.
