In its upcoming report, Generac Holdings (GNRC) is predicted by Wall Street analysts to post quarterly earnings of $2.09 per share, reflecting an increase of 17.4% compared to the same period last year. Revenues are forecasted to be $1.1 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 4.6%.

The current level reflects a downward revision of 0.1% in the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter over the past 30 days. This demonstrates how the analysts covering the stock have collectively reappraised their initial projections over this period.

Before a company reveals its earnings, it is vital to take into account any changes in earnings projections. These revisions play a pivotal role in predicting the possible reactions of investors toward the stock. Multiple empirical studies have consistently shown a strong association between trends in earnings estimates and the short-term price movements of a stock.
