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
Camtek EPS is expected to be around $0.19, according to sell-side analysts. Sales will likely be near $43.07 million. In the same quarter last year, Camtek announced EPS of $0.14 on revenue of $33.20 million.
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 consensus estimate for earnings would represent a 35.71% increase for the company. Revenue would be up 29.73% from the same quarter last year. Here is how the company's EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past:
Quarter | Q3 2020 | Q2 2020 | Q1 2020 | Q4 2020 |
---|---|---|---|---|
EPS Estimate | 0.18 | 0.15 | 0.11 | 0.13 |
EPS Actual | 0.18 | 0.16 | 0.09 | 0.14 |
Revenue Estimate | 38.67 M | 37.00 M | 30.03 M | 32.50 M |
