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 44.09% increase in the company's EPS figure. Sales would be up 23.12% from the year-ago period. The company's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past like this:

Quarter Q2 2020 Q1 2020 Q4 2020 Q3 2020
EPS Estimate 2.12 1.13 1.33 1.68
EPS Actual 2.43 1.50 1.57 1.86
Revenue Estimate 1.01 B 730.17 M 761.26 M 852.04 M
Revenue Actual 1.06 B 787.45 M 787.77 M 869.07 M

Stock Performance

For a full 12 months, the return has risen by 60.68%. Given that these returns are generally positive, long-term shareholders are probably relaxed going into this earnings release. Long-term shareholders are already enjoying 12-month gains prior to the announcement.

Do not be surprised to see the stock move on comments made during its conference call. Qorvo is scheduled to hold the call at 17:00:00 ET and can be accessed here.
