Expeditors International (NASDAQ:EXPD) announces its next round of earnings this Tuesday, August 03. Here is Benzinga's look at Expeditors International's Q2 earnings report.
Net Income, Earnings, And Earnings Per Share
Earnings and EPS are useful metrics of profitability. Total earnings also known as net income is equal to total revenue minus total expenses. Dividing net income by the total number of shares outstanding yields EPS.
Earnings And Revenue
Wall Street analysts see Expeditors International reporting earnings of $1.56 per share on revenue of $3.36 billion. In the same quarter last year, Expeditors International announced EPS of $1.09 on revenue of $2.58 billion.
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 analyst consensus estimate would represent a 43.12% increase in the company's earnings. Revenue would be up 30.18% on a year-over-year basis. In comparison to analyst estimates in the past, here is how the company's reported EPS stacks up:
| Quarter | Q1 2021 | Q4 2020 | Q3 2020 | Q2 2020 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Estimate | 1.04 | 1.07 | 0.98 | 0.71 |
| EPS Actual | 1.67 | 1.16 | 1.12 | 1.09 |
| Revenue Estimate | 2.63 B | 2.49 B | 2.36 B | 1.85 B |
| Revenue Actual | 3.36 B | 3.17 B | 2.46 B | 2.58 B |
