CNM's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $2.16 per share and revenue of $7.42 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +0.47% and +10.76%, respectively.
Investors should also pay attention to any latest changes in analyst estimates for Core & Main. Such recent modifications usually signify the changing landscape of near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Empirical research indicates that these revisions in estimates have a direct correlation with impending stock price performance. To exploit this, we've formed the Zacks Rank, a quantitative model that includes these estimate changes and presents a viable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system, which varies between #1 (Strong Buy) and #5 (Strong Sell), carries an impressive track record of exceeding expectations, confirmed by external audits, with stocks at #1 delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
