Although media reports or rumors about a significant change in the business prospects of a company generally lead to the fact that its shares lead to trend and an immediate change in price, there are always certain basic factors that ultimately advance the purchase and hate decision.

Instead of concentrating on anything else, we prioritize the evaluation of the change in the profit projection of a company at Zacks. This is due to the fact that we believe that the current value for its shares is determined by the cash value of his future profit current.

We essentially take a look at how analysts that cover the shares reveal their profit estimates in order to reflect the effects of the latest business trends. And if the profit estimates for a company rise, the current value for its shares increases. A higher atmosphere to be used than the current market price gives investors the interest for buying the share, which leads at a higher price. For this reason, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in the revisions of the yield estimate and short -term share price movements.

For the current quarter, the pure memory is expected to make a profit of $ 0.25 per share, which indicates a change of -21.9% compared to the previous year. The Zacks Consensus estimate has remained unchanged in the last 30 days.
