The fourth-quarter earnings reporting season has reached a peak, but many more major companies will be sharing their results soon. With the coronavirus, China and impeachment dominating the news flow, it is increasingly important to pay attention to the fundamentals and what these earnings reports have to say. Here, 24/7 Wall St. has put together a preview of a few of the most anticipated quarterly reports expected this week.
Expect Lyft Inc. (NASDAQ: LYFT) to release its most recent quarterly results late on Tuesday. The consensus forecast calls for a net loss of $1.36 per share and $984.17 million in revenue for the fourth quarter. The share price was last seen at just shy of $50. The consensus price target is $66.13, and shares have traded between $37.07 and $88.60 since the IPO.
Many things are taking place:
Shopify among companies to report earnings this week
Earnings season is winding down, but this week features the reports of several companies that usually report better earnings than Wall Street expects.
More than 60% of companies in the S&P 500 have reported results, and more than 70% have beaten expectations as of Thursday, according to FactSet.
Five large companies reporting this week have consistently topped estimates during the past four years, or more, according to Bespoke. That doesn't make them sure-fire buys, however, as two have seen their shares decline on average, despite the beats.
Shopify traditionally hasn't bothered patenting its intellectual property—but it seems to be
Shopify is looking to patent cloud, package processing and retail sensor technology as the e-commerce firm continues to expand its real-world services, including a billion-dollar push into logistics.
The Ottawa-based firm, which reports fourth-quarter earnings Wednesday, has historically shown little interest in patenting its innovations. But following its largest-ever acquisition and a deal with an American telecommunications giant, Shopify and its subsidiaries now hold at least four U.S. patents with another half a dozen applications outstanding.
