In the market for some reckless earnings predictions, you've come to the right place.

You're listening to Motley Fool Money.

Welcome, Fools. I'm your host, Tim Byers, and with me our longtime fools, Rick Bionares, Dave Meyer.

Fellas, how we doing? Fully caffeinated? Good weekends? Yes and yes. Yes to all.

All right. Today we're going to be making some reckless earnings predictions for three stocks reporting this week. Zoom communications.

Best Buy. So Zoom, ticker ZM, Best Buy, ticker B, B, B, Y, and Deering Company, ticker, DE.

Zoom will likely have reported by the time you're listening to this. So please leave us a comment to let us know

how well or poorly we did. Now, let's get into it. The reckless predictions game is going to be

pretty simple here. And we're going to start with, I'm going to give you the numbers we've got

going to tell me, is it going to be a miss? Is it going to be a beat? Or is it going to be a beat

All right. I think I'm going to want you to explain first here, Dave. No, just to beat, no raise. yeah so looking back at the last, I don't know, 10 to 12 quarters, they have beaten the revenue,

they've beaten their numbers each time.

And so to me, what I see, I see a little sandbagging.

I was just going to say, all right?

Because they're not big beats, but they are, they are ahead of what

management has been guiding. So clearly they know how to play this game, if you will.

But, yeah, so that's why I say beat. I don't know enough to say, you know, if they'll continue
