Will McGraw-Hill's Earnings Beat? - Analyst Blog
29 Aprile 2013 - 12:20PM
Zacks
The McGraw-Hill Companies,
Inc. (MHP) is slated to report its first-quarter 2013
results on Apr 30, 2013. In the last quarter, it posted bottom-line
results that met the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Let’s see how things
are shaping up for this announcement.
Growth Factors this
Past Quarter
McGraw-Hill's strategic investments
in businesses facilitate it to generate long-term profitability.
The formation of S&P Dow Jones Indices coupled with S&P
Capital IQ’s acquisitions of Credit Market Analysis Limited,
QuantHouse, R2 Financial Technologies and TheMarkets.com position
it well against its competitors to grab a wider market through
superior functionality and investor oriented services and in turn
help boost the top- and bottom-line results of the company.
Earnings
Whispers?
Our proven model does not
conclusively show that McGraw-Hill is likely to beat earnings this
quarter. This is because a stock needs to have both a positive
Earnings ESP (Read :Zacks Earnings ESP: A Better Method) and a
Zacks Rank #1, #2 or #3 for this to happen. This is not the case
here as you will see below.
Zacks ESP: ESP for
McGraw-Hill is 0.00%. This is because the Most Accurate Estimate
stands at 74 cents, which is in line with the Zacks Consensus
Estimate.
Zacks Rank #2
(Buy): McGraw-Hill’s Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) lowers the
predictive power of ESP because the Zacks Rank #2 when combined
with 0.00% ESP makes surprise prediction difficult. We caution
against stocks with Zacks Ranks #4 and #5 (Sell rated stocks) going
into the earnings announcement, especially when the company is
seeing negative estimate revisions momentum.
