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.

If the company were to match the consensus estimate when it reports Thursday, EPS would have fallen 25.0%. Revenue would be down 17.01% from the year-ago period. Golden Entertainment'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 -0.85 -2.03 -0.31 -0.25
EPS Actual -0.25 -2.80 -1.17 -0.28
Revenue Estimate 173.95 M 57.02 M 223.12 M 237.70 M
Revenue Actual 205.40 M 75.97 M 207.16 M 242.13 M

Stock Performance

Shares of Golden Entertainment were trading at $23.74 as of March 09. Over the last 52-week period, shares are up 215.72%. Given that these returns are generally positive, long-term shareholders should be content going into this earnings release.
