The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings per share in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at 78 cents, indicating growth of 6.9% from the year-ago reported figure. In first-quarter 2019, adjusted earnings of 73 cents were marginally lower than the year-ago quarter.

Our Model Doesn’t Suggest a Beat

According to the Zacks model, a company with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) has a good chance of beating estimates if it also has a positive Earnings ESP. Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell) stocks are best avoided, especially if they have a negative Earnings ESP. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Republic Services has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% and a Zacks Rank #4.
