Sell-side analysts expect Manhattan Associates's EPS to be near $0.43 on sales of $156.94 million. Manhattan Associates EPS in the same period a year ago totaled $0.4. Sales were $135.63 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.

The analyst consensus estimate would represent a 7.5% increase in the company's earnings. Sales would be have grown 15.71% from the same quarter last year. Here is how the company's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past: Quarter Q1 2021 Q4 2020 Q3 2020 Q2 2020EPS Estimate 0.32 0.32 0.39 0.34EPS Actual 0.43 0.45 0.51 0.40Revenue Estimate 143.87 M 137.96 M 138.87 M 127.34 MRevenue Actual 156.85 M 147.08 M 149.76 M 135.63 M
