Prior to today's trading, shares of the chipmaker had lost 15.09% over the past month. This has lagged the Computer and Technology sector's loss of 5.26% and the S&P 500's loss of 1.27% in that time.
Investors will be hoping for strength from QCOM as it approaches its next earnings release, which is expected to be January 30, 2019. On that day, QCOM is projected to report earnings of $0.96 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 2.04%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $4.91 billion, down 19.1% from the year-ago period.
QCOM's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $3.99 per share and revenue of $20.93 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +8.13% and -7.92%, respectively.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for QCOM should also be noted by investors. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
