Read MoreHide Full Article
Blackstone Group (BX - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $50.37, moving +0.58% from the previous trading session. The stock outpaced the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.09%. At the same time, the Dow added 0.26%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 0.17%.
Coming into today, shares of the investment manager had gained 3.84% in the past month. In that same time, the Finance sector gained 2.59%, while the S&P 500 gained 4.92%.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from BX as it approaches its next earnings report date. On that day, BX is projected to report earnings of $0.59 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 22.37%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $1.48 billion, down 19.36% from the year-ago period.
BX's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $2.32 per share and revenue of $5.53 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +2.65% and -7.44%, respectively.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for BX. 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.
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. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate remained stagnant. BX is holding a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now.
Investors should also note BX's current valuation metrics, including its Forward P/E ratio of 21.63. This represents a premium compared to its industry's average Forward P/E of 11.45.
Investors should also note that BX has a PEG ratio of 1.06 right now. The PEG ratio is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but this metric also takes the company's expected earnings growth rate into account.
