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

MamaMancini's Holdings EPS is expected to be around $0.02, according to sell-side analysts. Sales will likely be near $10.46 million. In the same quarter last year, MamaMancini's Holdings announced EPS of $0.01 on revenue of $9.27 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.

If the company were to report earnings in line when it publishes results Monday, earnings would be up 100.0%. Sales would be up 12.87% on a year-over-year basis. Here is how the company's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past:
