Prior to today's trading, shares of the company had gained 8.15% over the past month. This has outpaced the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 1.86% and the S&P 500's loss of 2.36% in that time.
The upcoming earnings release of Alphabet Inc. will be of great interest to investors. The company's earnings per share (EPS) are projected to be $2.12, reflecting a 29.27% increase from the same quarter last year. Simultaneously, our latest consensus estimate expects the revenue to be $81.41 billion, showing a 12.57% escalation compared to the year-ago quarter.
Additionally, investors should keep an eye on any recent revisions to analyst forecasts for Alphabet Inc. Such recent modifications usually signify the changing landscape of near-term business trends. As a result, upbeat changes in estimates indicate analysts' favorable outlook on the company's business health and profitability.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. 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.
