Earnings Outlook for Dynatronics

Dynatronics (NASDAQ:DYNT) announces its next round of earnings this Thursday, February 11. Here is Benzinga's everything-that-matters guide for this Thursday's Q2 earnings announcement.

What Are Earnings, Net Income, 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

Dynatronics EPS will likely be near $0.05 while revenue will be around $12.40 million, according to analysts. In the same quarter last year, Dynatronics reported EPS of $0.05 on revenue of $15.20 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 post earnings in line with the consensus estimate when it reports Thursday, EPS would be down 0%. Sales would have fallen 18.4% from the same quarter last year. Dynatronics's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past like this:
