Will Boyd Gaming (BYD) Crush Estimates at Its Next Earnings Report? - Tale of the Tape

Zacks Equity Research
Updated

Looking for a stock that might be in a good position to beat earnings at its next report?

Consider Boyd Gaming Corporation (BYD), a firm in the Gaming industry, which could be a great candidate for another beat.

This company has seen a nice streak of beating earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. In fact, in these reports, BYD has beaten estimates by at least 30% in both cases, suggesting it has a nice short-term history of crushing expectations.

Earnings in Focus

Two quarters ago, BYD expected to post a loss of 6 cents per share, while it actually produced break-even earnings, a beat of 100%. Meanwhile, for the most recent quarter, the company looked to deliver earnings of 10 cents per share, when it actually saw earnings of 13 cents per share instead, representing a 30% positive surprise.

Thanks in part to this history, recent estimates have been moving higher for Boyd Gaming. In fact, the Earnings ESP for BYD is positive, which is a great sign of a coming beat.

After all, the Zacks Earnings ESP compares the most accurate estimate to the broad consensus, looking to find stocks that have seen big revisions as of late, suggesting that analysts have recently become more bullish on the company’s earnings prospects. This is the case for BYD, as the firm currently has a Zacks Earnings ESP of 33.33%, so another beat could be around the corner.

This is particularly true when you consider that BYD has a great Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) which can be a harbinger of outperformance and a signal for a strong earnings profile. And when you add this solid Zacks Rank to a positive Earnings ESP, a positive earnings surprise happens nearly 70% of the time, so it seems pretty likely that BYD could see another beat at its next report, especially if recent trends are any guide.’
