Analysts predict 9.49% decrease in WDC earnings
As a technical analyst, it is important to consider both technical indicators and fundamental data when evaluating a stock's potential. In this case, we have the Stochastic Oscillator suggesting a potential bullish signal for WDC, combined with a better-than-expected earnings report.
The Stochastic Oscillator is a momentum indicator that measures the level of the current price relative to its range over a set period of time. When the indicator moves out of oversold territory, it suggests that the stock may be poised for a potential reversal to the upside. In the case of WDC, the A.I.dvisor from Tickeron analyzed 62 instances where the indicator left oversold territory, and found that in 51 of those cases the stock moved higher in the following days. This indicates a strong historical precedent for a bullish move in WDC after the indicator leaves oversold territory, with the odds of a move higher at over 82%.
In addition to the technical indicator, we have the recent earnings report for WDC. The report showed earnings per share of -137 cents, which beat the estimate of -157 cents. While a negative EPS is not ideal, the beat on estimates can be seen as a positive sign. It is important to note that the market reaction to an earnings report is not solely based on the EPS number, but also on other factors such as revenue growth, guidance, and overall market sentiment.
In terms of the company's market capitalization, we see that WDC currently has 1.33 million shares outstanding and a market capitalization of 10.91 billion dollars. This information can be used to evaluate the company's valuation relative to its peers and the broader market.
Overall, the technical indicator and recent earnings report suggest a potentially bullish outlook for WDC. However, it is important to consider other factors such as industry trends, competitive landscape, and overall market conditions before making any investment decisions.
