Everi Holdings (EVRI) Lags Q1 Earnings Estimates
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -63.64%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this cash access products company would post earnings of $0.08 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.04, delivering a surprise of -50%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has not been able to surpass consensus EPS estimates.
Everi Holdings , which belongs to the Zacks Business - Services industry, posted revenues of $181.3 million for the quarter ended March 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.03%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $189.35 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.
Everi Holdings shares have added about 4.1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of -3.8%.
While Everi Holdings 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.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Everi Holdings: unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.09 on $184.85 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.24 on $743.07 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Business - Services is currently in the top 18% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
ABM Industries (ABM), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended April 2025.
This provider of cleaning and other maintenance services for commercial buildings, hospitals and airports is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.88 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +1.2%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
ABM Industries' revenues are expected to be $2.08 billion, up 2.8% from the year-ago quarter.

The dividend stocks to buy (and the ones to avoid)
The FTSE 100 is sometimes referred to as 'investing backwater', owing to its limited number of high-growth companies. But what the London stock market lacks in exciting tech giants, it makes up for in reliable income stocks. On average, the index offers a dividend yield of 3.6pc, compared to just 1.2pc for the S&P 500. Although dividends are expected to dip this year as a result of some companies cutting payouts, the FTSE 100 remains one of the highest-yielding markets in the world. Depending on whether you take or reinvest the payments, dividends can supplement your income or turbocharge your portfolio. According to analysis from investment firm Fidelity, an investor who put £100 a month in the FTSE 100 for 10 years – totalling £12,000 – would have £14,764 today. But if they had reinvested the dividends, they would have £18,132. Here, Telegraph Money explores some of the most compelling income plays in the market right now. Legal & General Forward yield: 8.2pc It can be difficult to find stocks that have both a high yield and a reliable track record for income investors, which is why Legal & General is such a popular pick. The financial services group is one of the highest-yielding stocks in the FTSE 100, and hasn't cut its dividend once in the past decade. It has delivered strong results for the first half of the year, with underlying profit up 6pc as it seeks to expand internationally. Susannah Streeter, of stockbroker Hargreaves Lansdown, said: 'The balance sheet is in a very strong position, which supports ambitious return plans. The market looks set to stay healthy over the medium term, and the valuation doesn't look too demanding.' Aviva Forward yield: 6pc Insurer Aviva has had an impressive year, with shares up 35pc after a strong 2024. Protection sales rose 42pc year-on-year thanks to the acquisition of AIG, and retirement sales increased 33pc as higher interest rates drove annuity sales. The stock offers a generous dividend, and has grown its yield by 12pc per year on average over the past five years, according to analysis by Fidelity. Primary Health Properties Forward yield: 7.5pc Healthcare landlord PHP, which owns over 500 surgeries, dental practices and medical centres, stands to benefit from the Government's 10-year NHS plan thanks to increased spending on infrastructure and proposals to shift care from hospitals to the community. As a real estate investment trust (REIT), PHP is required to pay out the majority of its rental profits as dividends, so income investors can generally expect a passive income. The landlord is on track for its 29th year of consecutive dividend growth. National Grid Forward yield: 4.38pc National Grid reduced its dividend yield by a fifth this year to fund its ambitious growth plans, but Ms Streeter said it was a 'sensible move' and the current yield of 4.38pc is still a robust offer. Ms Streeter said: 'National Grid managed to squeeze out slightly better-than-expected profits, despite revenue falling as it sold its Electricity System Operator business to the UK Government back in October 2024. 'Work is well under way for National Grid to plant itself at the heart of the electric revolution. Infrastructure investment is set to rise sharply to around £60bn over the five years to March 2029 – nearly double the previous five-year total.' NatWest Forward yield: 4.8pc The Government sold its final share in NatWest in May, which analysts think could free up the bank to take on more risk. NatWest had a strong start to the year, thanks in part to homebuyers getting in ahead of April's stamp duty changes, and falling interest rates could encourage more buyers to take out mortgages. The forward dividend yield of 4.8pc is modest, but its balance sheet is strong, putting management in a good position to invest in the business or return cash to shareholders. Dividend flags to watch for While it's understandable to be on the lookout for high yields, it's not always a good sign. Jemma Slingo, of Fidelity, said: 'Although it sounds counterintuitive, investors shouldn't get too obsessed with big dividend yields. A yield that is too high can actually be a red flag, as it suggests the market is braced for a cut.' In some cases, a company may have seen its dividend pushed up by a declining share price. This is because yield is calculated as the annual dividends per share divided by the share price. A falling share price could signal that earnings are expected to fall and a dividend cut is on the horizon. For example, advertiser WPP offers a tantalising yield of about 9pc, but its share price is at its lowest level in 15 years. It recently halved its interim dividend and announced a 48pc drop in operating profits for the first half of the year. Housebuilder Taylor Wimpey is another high-yielding stock whose share price has slumped this year. It plunged to a pre-tax loss in the first half after taking a £20m charge to fix poor workmanship at an old development. Ms Streeter said: 'Given that Taylor Wimpey cut its interim dividend, it could continue the trend for the full year.' She went on: 'There has been another interest rate cut this month, but further reductions in borrowing costs are looking less likely by the end of the year, so the company may well be a bit more cautious about shareholder returns going forward.'' Dividend cover can help you work out whether a company's payout is sustainable. This shows you how many times a firm can afford to pay its dividend out of available profits. It can be calculated as prospective earnings per share (EPS) divided by prospective dividend per share (DPS). Anything below one could be cause for concern, with anything above two generally considered healthy. You may also want to check the company's operating free cash flow and debt levels. This will tell you whether the company is making enough money to comfortably pay its dividend. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

Stocks Mostly Lower as Chip Makers and Megacap Tech Companies Retreat
The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) Tuesday closed down by -0.59%, the Dow Jones Industrials Index ($DOWI) (DIA) closed up by +0.02%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed down by -1.39%. September E-mini S&P futures (ESU25) fell -0.54%, and September E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQU25) fell -1.37%. Stock indexes settled mixed on Tuesday, with the Nasdaq 100 falling to a 1.5-week low and the Dow Jones industrials posting a new all-time high. Tuesday's selloff in chip makers and the Magnificent Seven megacap technology stocks weighed on the overall market. More News from Barchart Trade the Warren Buffett Rally in UnitedHealth Stock With This High-Reward, Low-Risk Options Strategy Apple Expects $1.1 Billion Tariff Hit in 4th Quarter After $800 Million Q3 Hit; CEO Tim Cook Warns 'Many Factors That Could Change' Cathie Wood Is Buying BLSH Stock After the Bullish IPO. Should You? Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. On the positive side, Home Depot recovered from early losses and closed up more than +3% to push the Dow Jones industrials to a new record high after it reported a +3% jump in July comparable same-store sales. Lowes and Target will report their earnings on Wednesday, and Walmart will report on Thursday. Lower bond yields on Tuesday were supportive of stocks, as the 10-year T-note yield fell -3 bp to 4.30%. US government debt garnered support Tuesday after S&P Global Ratings affirmed its AA+ long-term rating and A-1+ short-term rating on US debt and said the US can maintain its credit strength despite the fiscal hit of its recent spending bill because tariff revenues will 'generally offset weaker fiscal outcomes.' Tuesday's US housing news was mixed. US Jul housing starts unexpectedly rose +5.2% m/m to a 5-month high of 1.428 million, stronger than expectations of a decline to 1.297 million. However, Jul building permits, a proxy for future construction, fell -2.8% m/m to a 5-year low of 1.354 million, weaker than expectations of -0.5% m/m to 1.386 million. Diplomatic talks over the war in Ukraine continue to make headway. Ukrainian President Zelenskiy said he came away with a commitment from President Trump late Monday to join security guarantees for any peace deal and reserve discussion on territorial swaps with Russia for later. President Trump is pushing for a summit between Presidents Putin and Zelenskiy soon, and European leaders are discussing a plan to send British and French troops to Ukraine as part of a peace agreement. The outcome of the talks could have macroeconomic implications regarding tariffs and oil prices, and could, of course, have significant consequences for European security. The focus of the markets this week will be on any new tariff news and signs of progress toward a Ukraine peace deal. On Wednesday, the minutes of the July 29-30 FOMC meeting will be released. On Thursday, weekly initial unemployment claims are expected to climb by +1,000 to 225,000 and the Aug Philadelphia Fed business outlook survey is expected to fall to 6.7 from 15.9 in July. Also, the Aug S&P manufacturing PMI is expected to remain unchanged at 49.8. In addition, Jul existing home sales are expected to fall -0.3% m/m to 3.92 million. On Friday, Fed Chair Powell speaks on the economic outlook at the Federal Reserve's annual symposium at Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Regarding tariffs, President Trump widened steel and aluminum tariffs to include more than 400 consumer items that contain the metals, such as motorcycles, auto parts, furniture components, and tableware. The change went into effect on Monday and did not exclude goods already in transit. Last Friday, Mr. Trump said, 'I'll be setting tariffs next week and the week after on steel and on, I would say chips – chips and semiconductors, we'll be setting sometime next week, week after.' Mr. Trump last week said he planned a 100% tariff on semiconductors but would exempt companies that move chip manufacturing to the US. Mr. Trump also mentioned 200% or 300% tariffs on chips. In other recent tariff news, Mr. Trump last Tuesday extended the tariff truce with China for another 90 days until November. On August 6, Mr. Trump announced that he will double tariffs on US imports from India to 50% from the current 25% tariff, due to India's purchases of Russian oil. On August 5, Mr. Trump said that US tariffs on pharmaceutical imports would be announced 'within the next week or so.' According to Bloomberg Economics, the average US tariff will rise to 15.2% if rates are implemented as announced, up from 13.3% earlier, and significantly higher than the 2.3% in 2024 before the tariffs were announced. Federal funds futures prices are discounting the chances for a -25 bp rate cut at 87% at the September 16-17 FOMC meeting, down from 93% last Thursday. The markets are discounting the chances at 54% for a second -25 bp rate cut at the following meeting on October 28-29. Earnings reports indicate that S&P 500 earnings for Q2 are on track to rise +9.1% y/y, much better than the pre-season expectations of +2.8% y/y and the most in four years, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. With over 92% of S&P 500 firms having reported Q2 earnings, about 82% of companies exceeded profit estimates. Overseas stock markets on Tuesday settled mixed. The Euro Stoxx 50 rose to a 4.75-month high and closed up +0.89%. China's Shanghai Composite fell from a 10-year high and closed down -0.02%. Japan's Nikkei Stock 225 retreated from a new record high and closed down -0.38%. Interest Rates September 10-year T-notes (ZNU25) Tuesday closed up +8 ticks, and the 10-year T-note yield fell -3.2 bp to 4.302%. Sep T-notes rallied Tuesday after S&P Global Ratings said that higher revenues from tariffs will help soften the blow to the US's fiscal health from the president's tax cuts, enabling the country to maintain its AA+ long-term credit rating. The weakness in stocks on Tuesday also supported safe-haven demand for T-notes. Gains in T-notes were limited due to concerns that last week's bearish US July CPI and PPI reports could keep the Fed from cutting interest rates at next month's FOMC meeting. European government bond yields on Tuesday were mixed. The 10-year German bund yield fell -1.3 bp to 2.750%. The 10-year UK gilt yield rose to a 2.5-month high of 4.756% and finished up by +0.2 bp to 4.740%. Swaps are discounting the chances at 7% for a -25 bp rate cut by the ECB at the September 11 policy meeting. US Stock Movers The weakness in the Magnificent Seven stocks on Tuesday was a drag on the overall market. Nvidia (NVDA) closed down more than -3%, and Meta Platforms (META) closed down more than -2%. Also, Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Tesla (TSLA) closed down more than -1%. In addition, Apple (AAPL) fell -0.14%.
