Coming into today, shares of the real estate investment trust had lost 15.49% in the past month. In that same time, the Finance sector gained 19.23%, while the S&P 500 gained 25.31%.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from O as it approaches its next earnings report date. This is expected to be May 4, 2020. In that report, analysts expect O to post earnings of $0.86 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 4.88%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $410.94 million, up 15.96% from the year-ago period.
O's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $3.42 per share and revenue of $1.68 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +3.01% and +12.34%, respectively.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for O. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. 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.
