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 35.14% decrease in the company's earnings. Sales would be down 28.66% 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 0.27 0.28 0.35 0.35
EPS Actual 0.27 0.62 0.33 0.37
Revenue Estimate 13.47 M 14.17 M 16.46 M 17.54 M
Revenue Actual 13.38 M 20.64 M 15.00 M 17.98 M

Stock Performance

Shares of Monroe Capital were trading at $9.35 as of February 26. Over the last 52-week period, shares are down 8.23%. Given that these returns are generally negative, long-term shareholders are probably upset going into this earnings release.

Do not be surprised to see the stock move on comments made during its conference call. Monroe Capital is scheduled to hold the call at 11:00:00 ET and can be accessed here.
