Consensus earnings for the current quarter by the 27 sell-side analysts covering the stock is an estimate of $1.43 per share, which would be $0.11 better than the year-ago quarter and a $0.00 sequential decrease. In looking at the bigger picture, the full-year EPS estimate of $4.76 would be a $0.23 improvement when compared to the previous year’s annual results.
