What Are Analyst Estimates And Earnings Surprises, And Why Do They Matter?

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.

If the company were to match the consensus estimate when it reports Wednesday, earnings would be up 3.03%. Revenue would be up 8.28% from the same quarter last year. Here is how the Perdoceo Education's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past:

Quarter Q3 2020 Q2 2020 Q1 2020 Q4 2020
EPS Estimate 0.35 0.37 0.38 0.28
EPS Actual 0.35 0.41 0.42 0.33

Revenue Actual 169.13 M 176.03 M 170.99 M 158.45 M
