Coming into today, shares of the chipmaker had gained 20.65% in the past month. In that same time, the Computer and Technology sector gained 2.67%, while the S&P 500 gained 2.44%.
SWKS will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release. The company is expected to report EPS of $1.65, down 9.84% from the prior-year quarter. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $880.29 million, down 9.44% from the year-ago period.
SWKS's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $6.37 per share and revenue of $3.44 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +3.24% and +1.79%, respectively.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for SWKS should also be noted by investors. 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.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. 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.
The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell). It has a remarkable, outside-audited track record of success, with #1 stocks delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988. The Zacks Consensus EPS estimate remained stagnant within the past month. SWKS is holding a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now.
Valuation is also important, so investors should note that SWKS has a Forward P/E ratio of 18.19 right now. For comparison, its industry has an average Forward P/E of 19.23, which means SWKS is trading at a discount to the group.
