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

Frank's International EPS loss is expected to be around $0.05, according to sell-side analysts. Sales will likely be near $96.02 million. In the same quarter last year, Frank's International posted EPS of $0.04 on sales of $123.49 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.

The analyst consensus estimate would represent a 25.0% decline in the company's EPS figure. Sales would be down 22.25% on a year-over-year basis. The company's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past like this: Quarter Q4 2021 Q3 2020 Q2 2020 Q1 2020EPS Estimate -0.08 -0.08 -0.09 -0.04EPS Actual -0.02 -0.10 -0.13 -0.04Revenue Estimate 88.20 M 89.52 M 97.40 M 134.46 MRevenue Actual 96.35 M 84.42 M 86.10 M 123.49 M
