Earnings And Revenue

Sell-side analysts are expecting Domo's loss per share to be near $0.43 on sales of $57.49 million. In the same quarter last year, Domo reported EPS of $0.65 on revenue of $48.56 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 match the consensus estimate when it reports Thursday, earnings would be up 33.85%. Sales would be up 18.39% from the year-ago period. Domo's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past like this:
