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 analyst consensus estimate would represent a 4.55% decrease in the company's earnings. Revenue would be up 37.83% on a year-over-year basis. Here is how the company's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past:

Quarter Q4 2020 Q3 2020 Q2 2020 Q1 2020
EPS Estimate 0.16 0.15 0.18 0.20
EPS Actual 0.20 0.26 0.23 0.22
Revenue Estimate 205.14 M 208.08 M 220.90 M 161.75 M
Revenue Actual 222.29 M 215.10 M 227.10 M 152.15 M
