Net Income, Earnings, And Earnings Per Share

Earnings And Revenue
Analysts covering Southside Bancshares modeled for quarterly EPS of $0.56 on revenue of $60.84 million. In the same quarter last year, Southside Bancshares reported EPS of $0.58 on revenue of $53.48 million.
What Are Analyst Estimates And Earnings Surprises, And Why Do They Matter?
Wall Street analysts who study this company will publish analyst estimates of revenue and EPS. The averages of all analyst EPS and revenue estimates are called the "consensus estimates"; these consensus estimates can have a significant effect on a company's performance during an earnings release. When a company posts earnings or revenue above or below a consensus estimate, it has posted an "earnings surprise", which can really move a stock depending on the difference between actual and estimated values.
The Wall Street consensus estimate for earnings would represent a 3.45% decrease for the company. Sales would be up 13.75% from the year-ago period. Here is how the Southside Bancshares's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past:
| Quarter | Q2 2020 | Q1 2020 | Q4 2020 | Q3 2019 |
