What Are Analyst Estimates And Earnings Surprises, And Why Do They Matter?
Analysts who cover this company will publish forward-looking estimates of its revenue and EPS each quarter. Averaging together every EPS and revenue prediction that each analyst makes about a company in a quarter yields the "consensus estimates." A company posting earnings or revenue above or below the consensus estimate is known as an "earnings surprise" and may move the stock by a considerable margin.
If the company were to report earnings in line when it publishes results Thursday, earnings would be up 1.19%. Revenue would be up 5.61% on a year-over-year basis. Here is how the company's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past:
| Quarter | Q1 2020 | Q4 2020 | Q3 2020 | Q2 2020 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Estimate | 0.67 | 0.61 | 0.58 | 0.78 |
