This serves as a significant indicator for predicting potential investor actions regarding the stock. Empirical research has consistently demonstrated a robust correlation between trends in earnings estimate revision and the short-term price performance of a stock. While investors typically rely on consensus earnings and revenue estimates to gauge how the business may have fared during the quarter, examining analysts' projections for some of the company's key metrics often helps gain a deeper insight. Bearing this in mind, let's now explore the average estimates of specific HomeStreet metrics that are commonly monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts. Analysts forecast 'Efficiency Ratio' to reach 97.4%. Compared to the present estimate, the company reported 76.2% in the same quarter last year. Based on the collective assessment of analysts, 'Average Balance - Total interest earning assets' should arrive at $8.98 billion. The estimate compares to the year-ago value of $8.89 billion.
