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.
If the company were to match the consensus estimate when it reports Wednesday, earnings would be down 160.0%. Revenue would be down 16.55% from the same quarter last year. Here is how the company's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past:
Quarter | Q2 2020 | Q1 2020 | Q4 2020 | Q3 2019 |

EPS Estimate | -0.03 | -0.02 | 0.06 | 0.01 |
