WYNN to beat earnings??
Investors are always looking for stocks that are poised to beat at earnings season and Wynn Resorts Ltd. WYNN may be one such company. The firm has earnings coming up pretty soon, and events are shaping up quite nicely for their report.
That is because Wynn Resorts is seeing favorable earnings estimate revision activity as of late, which is generally a precursor to an earnings beat. After all, analysts raising estimates right before earnings—with the most up-to-date information possible—is a pretty good indicator of some favorable trends underneath the surface for WYNN in this report.
In fact, the Most Accurate Estimate for the current quarter is currently at 81 cents per share for WYNN, compared to a broader Zacks Consensus Estimate of 74 cents per share. This suggests that analysts have very recently bumped up their estimates for WYNN, giving the stock a Zacks Earnings ESP of 9.46% heading into earnings season.
Why is this Important?
A positive reading for the Zacks Earnings ESP has proven to be very powerful in producing both positive surprises, and outperforming the market. Our recent 10 year backtest shows that stocks that have a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better show a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and have returned over 28% on average in annual returns (see more Top Earnings ESP stocks here).
Given that WYNN has a Zacks Rank #3 (Buy) and an ESP in positive territory, investors might want to consider this stock ahead of earnings. Clearly, recent earnings estimate revisions suggest that good things are ahead for Wynn Resorts, and that a beat might be in the cards for the upcoming report.
calls way too pricey, no?
Why are you bearish on WYNN?
How about next week for PCLN?
sold I'll be holding my 105 puts then :)
Market seems to be expecting that gap to fill today or tomorrow.
FB pretty wild.. as the price goes up, the puts price/demand seems to increase as well
still holding those ISRG calls? Not sure about the dip yesterday.
ISRG wow! why the dip, holding 550 calls for a rebound way over sold here, bears getting exhausted.
NFLX 97.45
JB, you thinking IBB sinks further once this oil short covering is done next week?
No riiiiigggghttt NOW!
105's when does the recovery start? LOL
Holding $575 call for this week through earnings, should be a safe enough bet
ISRG longs getting spooked here in the 11th hour?
Jimmybob- your thoughts...ISRG
Intuitive Surgical Earnings Preview: Revenue Growth Likely To Taper In Q4 After An Exceptionally Strong Q3
Leading surgical robots manufacturer Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:ISRG) is scheduled to report its Q4 fiscal 2015 earnings on January 21st. (Fiscal years ending in December.) After an exceptionally strong third quarter, driven by a strong growth in general surgeries segment in the U.S and a rise in international procedures, Intuitive likely sawits revenue growth taper a bitin Q4. In the third quarter, ahigh proportion of orders for Xi Systems pushed up the average selling price of daVinci systems from $1.4 million to $1.6 million. We suspectthe trend reversedin Q4 asthe mix of orders placed for Inuitives surgical systems rebalanced towards the norm. However, Intuitives future outlook remains promising as the company remains focused on expanding the application of da Vinci systems.
Our price estimate of $500 for Intuitive Surgicalis 10% below the current market price.
Expanding The Scope Of da Vinci Surgical Systems To Boost Future Growth
The company is committed to expanding the scope of daVinci Systems in general surgery, especially colorectal surgery and hernia repair. While colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer and is fast becoming a dreadful reality for many, hernia repair devices and consumables market is expected to grow at 6.5% to reach $6.1 billion in 2020. Also, Intuitive has a significant growth opportunity in other segments such as cardiothoracic surgeries and lung surgeries, considering that procedural volumes in these segments as a percentage of the total procedural volumes was almost negligible for Intuitive Surgical in 2014. With the aforementioned factors in mind, Intuitive can see a rise in number of procedural volumes by increasing its focus on expanding the applications of da Vinci systems.
As procedure volumes grow, the demand for da Vinci surgical system units will likely increase, as new hospitals and healthcare institutions shift to robotic surgery. Existing customers could be incentivized to trade-in old machines and add more capacity. The sale of related instruments and accessories will also rise with growth in procedure volumes, as instruments have a limited useful life, after which they need to be replaced
