The company topped the consensus estimate the past three quarters by 16 cents a share, 6 cents and 4 cents. Profits for the third quarter are expected to be up 25% to 36 cents a share from 28 cents the year before.
For the full year, analysts are forecasting a 42% surge in GRUB’s net to $1.70 a share from $1.20 the year before. Going out to 2019, the Street predicts a 26% increase in profits to $2.15 a share from the anticipated $1.70 this year.
The stock’s 12-month performance chart shows the shares up 160% versus a 15% gain for the stock market. The stock has broken out from a 14-week, cup-and-handle base.
The move carries the stock close to a new all-time high. We are targeting GRUB for a move to $140 off of this breakout. A protective stop can be placed near $106.
