Preview: Summit Wireless's Earnings

Summit Wireless WISA releases its next round of earnings this Tuesday, August 10. Here is Benzinga's essential guide to Summit Wireless's Q2 earnings report.

Net Income, Earnings, 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

Analysts are expecting Summit Wireless to report a loss of $-0.28 per share. Revenue will likely be around $1.21 million, according to the consensus estimate. In the same quarter last year, Summit Wireless reported a loss per share of $0.9 on revenue of $348.00 thousand.

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.

The Wall Street estimate would represent a 68.89% increase in the company's earnings. Sales would be up 247.7% from the same quarter last year. 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 -0.30 -0.36 -0.30 -0.4
EPS Actual -0.33 -0.32 -0.39 -0.9
Revenue Estimate 1.26 M 930.00 K 500.00 K 210.00 K
Revenue Actual 1.15 M 1.00 M 607.00 K 348.00 K
