CONSOL Energy's Earnings Outlook

CONSOL Energy CEIX unveils its next round of earnings this Tuesday, August 03. Here is Benzinga's everything-that-matters guide for the earnings announcement.

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

Based on CONSOL Energy management projections, analysts predict EPS of $0.3 on revenue of $290.15 million. CONSOL Energy EPS in the same period a year ago totaled $0.69. Revenue was $162.56 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, EPS would be up 143.48%. Revenue would be up 78.49% on a year-over-year basis. 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 0.15 0.93 -0.74 -0.82
EPS Actual 0.75 0.49 -0.28 -0.69
Revenue Estimate 271.45 M 342.10 M 280.40 M 150.70 M
Revenue Actual 342.15 M 324.61 M 184.07 M 162.56 M
