Earnings Preview: Target Hospitality

On Monday, May 24, Target Hospitality TH will release its latest earnings report. Here is Benzinga's outlook for the company.

Net Income, Earnings, 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

Sell-side analysts are expecting Target Hospitality's loss per share to be near $0.09 on sales of $40.93 million. In the same quarter last year, Target Hospitality reported EPS of $0.05 on revenue of $71.66 million.

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.

The Wall Street estimate would represent a 280.0% decline in the company's earnings. Revenue would have fallen 42.88% from the same quarter last year. The company's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past like this:

Quarter Q1 2021 Q4 2020 Q3 2020 Q2 2020
EPS Estimate -0.09 -0.12 -0.12 -0.11
EPS Actual -0.14 -0.10 -0.08 -0.15
Revenue Estimate 40.93 M 37.57 M 42.26 M 39.42 M
Revenue Actual 45.49 M 51.61 M 48.26 M 53.62 M
