Earnings Preview For Hello Gr

On Thursday, August 26, Hello Gr MOMO will report its last quarter's earnings. Here is Benzinga's preview of the company's release.

Net Income, Earnings, 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

Analysts predict Hello Gr will report earnings of $0.32 per share on revenue of $558.01 million. In the same quarter last year, Hello Gr posted EPS of $0.43 on sales of $547.52 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.

If the company were to match the consensus estimate when it reports Thursday, earnings would be down 25.58%. Revenue would be up 1.92% from the year-ago period. Here is how the company's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past:
