Citizens Financial Servs (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZFS#NASDAQ">CZFS</a>) reported quarterly earnings of $1.49 per share which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $1.55 by 3.87 percent. This is a 12.87 percent decrease over earnings of $1.71 per share from the same period last year.

Earnings Misses

Citizens Financial Servs Q1 EPS $1.49 Misses $1.55 Estimate

MainStreet Bank (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mnsb#NASDAQ">MNSB</a>)&nbsp;came out with quarterly earnings of $0.36 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.52 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.01 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -30.77%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $0.68 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.61, delivering a surprise of -10.29%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.
MainStreet Bank, which belongs to the Zacks Banks - Northeast industry, posted revenues of $16.26 million for the quarter ended March 2024, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6.85%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $22.09 million. The company has not been able to beat consensus revenue estimates over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.
MainStreet Bank shares have lost about 30.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&amp;P 500&#39;s gain of 4.1%.
What&#39;s Next for MainStreet Bank?
While MainStreet Bank has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company&#39;s earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for MainStreet Bank: unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company&#39;s just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.50 on $17.96 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $2.05 on $72.66 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Banks - Northeast is currently in the bottom 40% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Another stock from the same industry, Citizens Financial Services (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/czfs#NASDAQ">CZFS</a>), has yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2024.
This bank is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.55 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -9.4%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Citizens Financial Services&#39; revenues are expected to be $25.9 million, up 27.9% from the year-ago quarter.

Wednesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Citizens Financial Servs (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZFS#NASDAQ">CZFS</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Friday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 49 cents per share. On Thursday, Citizens Financial Servs will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 49 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Thursday. Shareholders who own CZFS as of the end of Wednesday's session are eligible to receive the 49 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on September 29, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
