....Clearly, the stock has become an instant investor-favorite, and with Elon Musk of Tesla ( TSLA ) fame backing the company, few are willing to bet against SCTY right now. But after some great earnings reports out of many of its competitors-such as CSIQ and FSLR -- lately, the pressure will definitely be on SolarCity to post some solid results after the bell on Wednesday and show that it has earned at least a bit of its lofty valuation.
Solar City Earnings in Focus
According to our estimates , SCTY is expected to lose 46 cents for the quarter. This is a bit of a reduction from two months ago, as the analyst consensus stood at a 43 cent loss then. However, it is worth noting that estimates have trended a little higher lately, as the most accurate estimate is slightly higher than the consensus, giving SolarCity an Earnings ESP of 2.17%.
This positive ESP, when combined with the company's current Zacks Rank
#3 (Hold), suggests that the firm might be in for a modest beat when it reports earnings. Furthermore, it is worth noting that estimates for the current year and next year have also come down, so a solid guidance reading would go a long way to reversing this sluggish estimate trend.
