Heading into today, shares of the internet search leader had gained 7.06% over the past month, outpacing the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 3.04% and the S&P 500's loss of 0.29% in that time.

For the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates project earnings of $8.02 per share and a revenue of $294.74 billion, demonstrating changes of +38.28% and +14.91%, respectively, from the preceding year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for Alphabet. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Our research reveals that these estimate alterations are directly linked with the stock price performance in the near future. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988.
