Prior to today's trading, shares of the office supply retailer had gained 2.28% over the past month. This has lagged the Retail-Wholesale sector's gain of 5.56% and the S&P 500's gain of 4.87% in that time.

Meanwhile, the latest consensus estimate predicts the revenue to be $1.83 billion, indicating a 9.13% decrease compared to the same quarter of the previous year.
Looking at the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $4.29 per share and revenue of $7.13 billion. These totals would mark changes of -23.39% and -8.96%, respectively, from last year.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for ODP Corp. 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.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. To take advantage of this, we've established the Zacks Rank, an exclusive model that considers these estimated changes and delivers an operational rating system.
