Read MoreHide Full Article
Boeing (BA - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $375.63, moving -1.91% from the previous trading session. This change lagged the S&P 500's 0.29% gain on the day. Meanwhile, the Dow gained 0.17%, and the Nasdaq, a tech-heavy index, added 0.3%.
Prior to today's trading, shares of the airplane builder had gained 19.51% over the past month. This has outpaced the Aerospace sector's gain of 4.22% and the S&P 500's gain of 2.99% in that time.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from BA as it approaches its next earnings report date. On that day, BA is projected to report earnings of $2.33 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 34.92%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $20.71 billion, down 17.63% from the year-ago period.
BA's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $3.98 per share and revenue of $85.61 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of -75.14% and -15.35%, respectively.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for BA should also be noted by investors. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. 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.
