Kamada's Earnings Outlook

On Wednesday, May 12, Kamada KMDA will report its last quarter's earnings. Here is Benzinga's preview of the company's release.

Net Income, Earnings, 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

Based on Kamada management projections, analysts predict EPS of $0.09 on revenue of $27.17 million. In the same quarter last year, Kamada reported EPS of $0.12 on revenue of $33.29 million.

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.

If the company were to match the consensus estimate when it reports Wednesday, earnings would be down 25.0%. Sales would be down 18.38% from the year-ago period. In comparison to analyst estimates in the past, here is how the company's reported EPS stacks up:

Quarter Q4 2021 Q3 2020 Q2 2020 Q1 2020
EPS Estimate 0.07 0.06 0.11 0.06
EPS Actual 0.04 0.15 0.08 0.12
Revenue Estimate 32.91 M 33.19 M 36.37 M 30.12 M
Revenue Actual 31.54 M 35.33 M 33.09 M 33.29 M
