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 report earnings in line when it publishes results Monday, quarterly profit would be down 9.8%. Revenue would be down 2.34% on a year-over-year basis. Cooper Tire & Rubber's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past like this:

Quarter Q3 2020 Q2 2020 Q1 2020 Q4 2020
EPS Estimate 0.67 -0.54 -0.13 0.67
EPS Actual 2.42 -0.12 -0.23 1.02
Revenue Estimate 645.74 M 464.87 M 556.16 M 740.14 M
Revenue Actual 764.85 M 496.26 M 531.69 M 750.21 M
