Why Analyst Estimates And Earnings Surprises Are Important

Analysts who cover this company will publish forward-looking estimates of its revenue and EPS each quarter. Averaging together every EPS and revenue prediction that each analyst makes about a company in a quarter yields the "consensus estimates." A company posting earnings or revenue above or below the consensus estimate is known as an "earnings surprise" and may move the stock by a considerable margin.

The Wall Street estimate would represent a 4.76% increase in the company's earnings. Revenue would be up 5.17% from the year-ago period. Here is how the company's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past:

Quarter Q3 2020 Q2 2020 Q1 2020 Q4 2020
EPS Estimate 0.95 0.55 0.62 0.56
EPS Actual 1.54 1.22 0.83 0.63
Revenue Estimate 312.40 M 247.84 M 274.81 M 262.34 M
Revenue Actual 364.30 M 326.08 M 283.67 M 262.51 M
