This civil and military flight simulator company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.31 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -6.1%. Revenues are expected to be $958.31 million, up 7.9% from the year-ago quarter.

While earnings and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.

For CAE, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.7% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.
