Yahoo Finance Why Earnings Season Could Be Great for NuStar Energy (NS)
Investors are always looking for stocks that are poised to beat at earnings season and NuStar Energy L.P. NS 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 NuStar Energy 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 NS in this report.
In fact, the Most Accurate Estimate for the current quarter is currently at 32 cents per share for NS, compared to a broader Zacks Consensus Estimate of 26 cents per share. This suggests that analysts have very recently bumped up their estimates for NS, giving the stock a Zacks Earnings ESP of +21.21% heading into earnings season.
