| Weakness Seen in Helix Energy (HLX) Estimates: Should You Stay Away? - Tale of the Tape | |
| | |
|
One such stock that you may want to consider dropping is Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. (HLX), which has witnessed a significant price decline in the past four weeks, and it has seen negative earnings estimate revisions for the current quarter and the current year. A Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) further confirms weakness in HLX.
A key reason for this move has been the negative trend in earnings estimate revisions. For the full year, we have seen 4 estimates moving down in the past 30 days, compared with no upward revisions. This trend has caused the consensus estimate to trend lower, going from $1.76 a share a month ago to its current level of 90 cents.
Also, for the current quarter, Helix Energy has seen 4 downward estimate revisions versus no revisions in the opposite direction, dragging the consensus estimate down to 3 cents a share from 31 cents over the past 30 days.
The stock also has seen some pretty dismal trading lately, as the share price has dropped 24% in the past month.
So it may not be a good decision to keep this stock in your portfolio anymore, at least if you don’t have a long time horizon to wait.
If you are still interested in the Oils/energy sector, you may instead consider a better-ranked stock - Dominion Midstream Partners, LP (DM). The stock currently holds a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and may be better selection at this time.
