On Wednesday, July 14, EXFO (NASDAQ:EXFO) will release its latest earnings report. Decipher the announcement with Benzinga's help.
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.
Wall Street analysts see EXFO reporting earnings of $0.03 per share on revenue of $72.98 million. EXFO EPS in the same period a year ago totaled $0.01. Sales were $66.15 million.
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 analyst consensus estimate would represent a 200.0% increase in the company's EPS figure. Revenue would be up 10.33% on a year-over-year basis. EXFO's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past like this:
Quarter | Q2 2021 | Q1 2021 | Q4 2020 | Q3 2020 |
---|---|---|---|---|
EPS Estimate | 0.04 | 0.03 | 0.06 | -0.03 |
EPS Actual | -0.04 | 0.06 | -0.02 | 0.01 |
Revenue Estimate | 71.19 M | 70.89 M | 65.33 M | 59.59 M |
Revenue Actual | 69.25 M | 71.51 M | 70.57 M | 66.15 M |
Over the last 52-week period, shares are up 56.61%. Given that these returns are generally positive, long-term shareholders can relax going into this earnings release. Long-term shareholders are already enjoying 12-month gains prior to the announcement.
Do not be surprised to see the stock move on comments made during its conference call. EXFO is scheduled to hold the call at 17:00:00 ET and can be accessed here.
