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.

The analyst consensus estimate would represent a 36.36% increase in the company's EPS figure. Sales would be up 40.28% from the same quarter last year. Here is how the company's reported EPS has compared to analyst estimates in the past:

Quarter Q4 2021 Q3 2020 Q2 2020 Q1 2020
EPS Estimate 0.49 0.10 0.32 0.15
EPS Actual 0.55 0.17 0.37 0.22
Revenue Estimate 189.55 M 143.68 M 136.61 M 122.73 M
Revenue Actual 205.72 M 154.02 M 153.01 M 131.59 M

Stock Performance

Shares of Chegg were trading at $92.23 as of April 29. Over the last 52-week period, shares are up 110.85%. Given that these returns are generally positive, long-term shareholders are probably content going into this earnings release.
