Southwestern Energy's Earnings Outlook

 

Southwestern Energy SWN announces its next round of earnings this Thursday, April 29. Here is Benzinga's look at Southwestern Energy's Q1 earnings report.

What Are Earnings, Net Income, And Earnings Per Share?

Earnings and EPS are useful metrics of profitability. Total earnings also known as net income is equal to total revenue minus total expenses. Dividing net income by the total number of shares outstanding yields EPS.

Earnings And Revenue

Southwestern Energy EPS will likely be near $0.23 while revenue will be around $850.51 million, according to analysts. Southwestern Energy earnings in the same period a year ago was $0.1 per share. Quarterly sales came in at $592.00 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.

If the company were to report earnings in line when it publishes results Thursday, earnings would be up 130.0%. Revenue would be up 43.67% on a year-over-year basis. Southwestern Energy's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past like this:
