Turning Point Brands's Earnings Outlook

Turning Point Brands TPB unveils its next round of earnings this Tuesday, July 27. Here is Benzinga's everything-that-matters guide for the 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

Analysts covering Turning Point Brands modeled for quarterly EPS of $0.65 on revenue of $106.22 million. In the same quarter last year, Turning Point Brands announced EPS of $0.71 on revenue of $104.96 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 when it reports Tuesday, earnings would be down 8.45%. Revenue would be up 1.2% on a year-over-year basis. Here is how the company's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past:
