Global impact / market context

Revenue growth above expectations points to stronger sales than analysts had forecast, while unchanged adjusted earnings suggest that growth did not lift this earnings measure year over year. Reported earnings per share and adjusted earnings differ, so investors may weigh both when judging the quarter’s profitability.

Analyst inference

Analysts’ average earnings estimate had declined about 0.8% over three months, with no revisions in the latest 30 days. The shares had risen 27.5% this quarter and 27.6% this year, while the median 12-month price target was about 6% above the last close.
