Heading into today, shares of the airplane builder had gained 5.55% over the past month, outpacing the Aerospace sector's gain of 3.93% and the S&P 500's gain of 3.44% in that time.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from BA as it approaches its next earnings report date. This is expected to be October 23, 2019. In that report, analysts expect BA to post earnings of $1.86 per share. This would mark a year-over-year decline of 48.04%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $20.71 billion, down 17.63% from the prior-year quarter.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $4.09 per share and revenue of $85.61 billion. These totals would mark changes of -74.45% and -15.35%, respectively, from last year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for BA. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
