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 25.0% increase in the company's earnings. Revenue would be down 1.04% on a year-over-year basis. Tecnoglass's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past like this:
EPS Estimate | 0.17 | 0.13 | 0.14 | 0.19 |
EPS Actual | 0.28 | 0.20 | 0.10 | 0.16 |
Revenue Estimate | 96.66 M | 91.44 M | 106.18 M | 105.38 M |
Revenue Actual | 103.31 M | 81.94 M | 87.30 M | 101.39 M |
Stock Performance
