What Are Earnings, Net Income, And Earnings Per Share?

Wall Street expects an EPS loss of $0.02 and sales around $136.11 million. In the same quarter last year, Duluth Holdings reported earnings per share of $0.01 on sales of $119.77 million.
Why Analyst Estimates And Earnings Surprises Are Important
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 Thursday, EPS would be down 300.0%. Sales would be have grown 13.64% from the same quarter last year. Duluth Holdings's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past like this:
