The crowd is more bullish in the earnings front, but more bearish on the revenue front. Main Street is projecting consensus earnings of $0.05 (up 66 percent year-over-year) on revenue of $522.86 million, down 3 percent in relation to the first quarter of 2014.
The table above features a history of Pep Boys’ actual results and growth rates versus estimates. The current quarter is expected to be the first in the last six quarters to see earnings surge year-over-year.
However, the company has a history of widely missing estimates.
