Simultaneously, our latest consensus estimate expects the revenue to be $9.34 billion, showing an 8.18% escalation compared to the year-ago quarter.
For the annual period, the Zacks Consensus Estimates anticipate earnings of $11.19 per share and a revenue of $39.33 billion, signifying shifts of +11.34% and +9.48%, respectively, from the last year.
