A Preview Of Movado Group's Earnings

Movado Group (NYSE:MOV) announces its next round of earnings this Thursday, August 26. 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 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

Movado Group earnings will be near $0.3 per share on sales of $129.00 million, according to analysts. In the same quarter last year, Movado Group posted EPS of $0.07 on sales of $88.54 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 report earnings in line when it publishes results Thursday, earnings would be up 528.57%. Revenue would be up 45.7% from the year-ago period. Here is how the company's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past: Quarter Q1 2022 Q4 2021 Q3 2021 Q2 2021EPS Estimate -0.08 0.45 0.48 -0.31EPS Actual 0.43 0.84 0.70 -0.07Revenue Estimate 111.00 M 164.00 M 173.00 M 113.00 MRevenue Actual 134.80 M 178.33 M 169.86 M 88.54 M
