Alphabet: BMO Lowers Estimates Ahead Of Earnings Release Tomorrow

Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) announced that it will be reporting its quarterly financial results on October 26th, with its earnings call happening at 4:30 after the market closes. For the consensus estimates, 32 analysts expect Alphabet’s revenue to be $63.32 billion for the third quarter. Gross margins are expected to be 56.79% this quarter and net income is estimated to be $15.94 billion.

Alphabet currently has 49 analysts covering the stock with an average 12-month price target of $3,168, or a 15% upside. Out of the 49 analysts, 17 have strong buy ratings, 30 have buys, 1 has a hold rating and 1 analyst has a sell. The street high price target sits at $4,288.52 from Elazar Advisors, while the lowest comes in at $1,850.

In BMO Capital Market’s note, they reiterate their $3,000 12-month price target and outperform rating and slightly increased third-quarter estimates but lowered the overall full-year 2021 and 2022 estimates. They believe that Alphabet investors have set high expectations for the company this quarter but believe the overall risk/reward is still tilted favourably.

They are raising near-term revenue estimates, primarily because they believe YouTube will outperform this quarter, but lower their estimates for the Search & Other segment going into the fourth quarter to reflect a more normal eCommerce buying pattern and Alphabet’s move away from last-click attribution.

Below you can see BMO’s updated estimates.
