In the same quarter last year, Sanderson Farms reported EPS of $2.94 on revenue of $802 million. The Wall Street consensus estimate for earnings would represent a 25.17 percent decrease for the company. Sales would be up 4.95 percent on a year-over-year basis. The company's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past like this:

EPS Actual 0.6 3.2 5.09 2.94

 

Stock Performance

Over the last 52-week period, shares are down 8.17 percent. Given that these returns are generally negative, long-term shareholders are probably a little upset going into this earnings release. Analysts have adjusted their estimates lower for EPS and revenues over the past 90 days. Analysts seem to have settled on a Sell rating with Sanderson Farms. The strength of this rating has maintained conviction over the past three months.
