At Home Group EPS will likely be near $0.69 while revenue will be around $522.83 million, according to analysts. At Home Group EPS in the same period a year ago totaled $0.37. Revenue was $397.72 million.
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 Tuesday, quarterly profit would be up 86.49%. Revenue would be up 31.46% on a year-over-year basis. Here is how the company's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past:
| Quarter | Q3 2020 | Q2 2020 | Q1 2020 | Q4 2020 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Estimate | 0.63 | 1.31 | -0.41 | 0.36 |
| EPS Actual | 0.74 | 1.41 | -0.61 | 0.37 |
| Revenue Estimate | 469.77 M | 514.97 M | 200.49 M | 396.70 M |
