Heading into today, shares of the computer and technology services provider had lost 0.65% over the past month, lagging the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 5.19% and the S&P 500's gain of 4.04% in that time.
DELL will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release. On that day, DELL is projected to report earnings of $1.46 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 19.34%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $23.30 billion, up 1.55% from the prior-year quarter.
DELL's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $6.36 per share and revenue of $93.64 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of -53.24% and +3.34%, respectively.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for DELL. 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.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
