Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times. MKS Instruments , which belongs to the Zacks Electronics - Manufacturing Machinery industry, posted revenues of $1.09 billion for the quarter ended December 2022, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 8.86%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $763.9 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. MKS Instruments shares have added about 8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 3.4%. What's Next for MKS Instruments? While MKS Instruments has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
