Universal Logistics Hldgs ULH unveils its next round of earnings this Thursday, July 29. Here is Benzinga's everything-that-matters guide for the earnings announcement.
What Are Earnings, Net Income, And Earnings Per Share?
Earnings and especially earnings per share (EPS) are useful measures of a company's profitability. Total earnings, which is also referred to as net income, equals total revenue minus total expenses. EPS equals to net income divided by the number of shares outstanding.
Earnings And Revenue
Based on management's projections, Universal Logistics Hldgs analysts model for earnings of $0.79 per share on sales of $410.60 million. Universal Logistics Hldgs EPS in the same period a year ago totaled $0.23. Sales were $257.98 million.
What Are Analyst Estimates And Earnings Surprises, And Why Do They Matter?
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.
The Wall Street consensus estimate for earnings would represent a 243.48% increase for the company. Revenue would be up 59.16% on a year-over-year basis. Here is how the company's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past:
| Quarter | Q1 2021 | Q4 2020 | Q3 2020 | Q2 2020 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Estimate | 0.7 | 0.49 | 0.54 | 0.06 |
| EPS Actual | 0.8 | 0.60 | 0.50 | 0.23 |
