Boingo Wireless WIFI releases its next round of earnings this Monday, November 09. Here is Benzinga's essential guide to Boingo Wireless's Q3 earnings report.
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
Sell-side analysts are expecting Boingo Wireless's loss per share to be near $0.11 on sales of $59.37 million. The company saw a bottom-line number of $0.0 per share on sales of $64.71 million during the same period last year.
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 post earnings in line with the consensus estimate when it reports Monday, EPS would be down 0%. Revenue would have fallen 8.25% from the same quarter last year. Here is how the Boingo Wireless's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past:
| Quarter | Q2 2020 | Q1 2020 | Q4 2020 | Q3 2019 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Estimate | -0.08 | -0.07 | -0.11 | -0.1 |
| EPS Actual | -0.13 | -0.10 | -0.12 | 0 |
| Revenue Estimate | 61.08 M | 63.31 M | 69.74 M | 62.79 M |
| Revenue Actual | 58.67 M | 59.89 M | 64.06 M | 64.71 M |
