Restaurant Brands Intl QSR announces its next round of earnings this Friday, July 30. Here is Benzinga's everything-that-matters guide for this Friday's Q2 earnings announcement.
What Are Earnings, Net Income, And Earnings Per Share?
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.
Earnings And Revenue
Restaurant Brands Intl earnings will be near $0.56 per share on sales of $1.15 billion, according to analysts. Restaurant Brands Intl EPS in the same period a year ago totaled $0.33. Sales were $1.05 billion.
Why Analyst Estimates And Earnings Surprises Are Important
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 match the consensus estimate when it reports Friday, earnings would be up 69.7%. Sales would be up 9.73% 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 | 0.56 | 0.56 | 0.56 | 0.56 |
| EPS Actual | 0.55 | 0.53 | 0.68 | 0.33 |
| Revenue Estimate | 1.15 B | 1.15 B | 1.15 B | 1.15 B |
| Revenue Actual | 1.26 B | 1.36 B | 1.34 B | 1.05 B |
