On Thursday, August 12, Standex International SXI will report its last quarter's earnings. Here is Benzinga's preview of the company's release.
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
Wall Street analysts see Standex International reporting earnings of $1.31 per share on revenue of $173.58 million. Standex International EPS in the same period a year ago totaled $0.65. Sales were $139.39 million.
Why Analyst Estimates And Earnings Surprises Are Important
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.
If the company were to match the consensus estimate, earnings would be up 101.54%. Revenue would be up 24.53% from the year-ago period. Here is how the company's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past:
| Quarter | Q3 2021 | Q2 2021 | Q1 2021 | Q4 2020 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Estimate | 1.06 | 1 | 0.72 | 0.47 |
| EPS Actual | 1.19 | 1.05 | 0.96 | 0.65 |
| Revenue Estimate | 162.65 M | 153.41 M | 142.42 M | 137.99 M |
| Revenue Actual | 172.22 M | 156.28 M | 151.29 M | 139.39 M |
