Monolithic Power Systems (NASDAQ:MPWR) announces its next round of earnings this Tuesday, July 27. Here is Benzinga's everything-that-matters guide for this Tuesday's Q2 earnings announcement.
Net Income, Earnings, And Earnings Per Share
Earnings and especially earnings per share (EPS) are useful measures of a company's profitability. Total earnings, which is also referred to as net income, equals total revenue minus total expenses. EPS equals to net income divided by the number of shares outstanding.
Earnings And Revenue
Wall Street analysts see Monolithic Power Systems reporting earnings of $1.69 per share on sales of $280.54 million. Monolithic Power Systems EPS in the same period a year ago totaled $1.08. Sales were $186.21 million.
Why Analyst Estimates And Earnings Surprises Are Important
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.
The Wall Street estimate would represent a 56.48% increase in the company's earnings. Revenue would be up 50.66% 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 2021 | Q4 2020 | Q3 2020 | Q2 2020 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Estimate | 1.34 | 1.24 | 1.68 | 1 |
| EPS Actual | 1.46 | 1.31 | 1.69 | 1.08 |
| Revenue Estimate | 242.76 M | 225.74 M | 258.09 M | 169.73 M |
| Revenue Actual | 254.46 M | 233.04 M | 259.42 M | 186.21 M |
