Carlisle Companies (NYSE:CSL) announces its next round of earnings this Thursday, July 22. 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
Carlisle Companies earnings will be near $2.13 per share on sales of $1.15 billion, according to analysts. Carlisle Companies reported a profit of $1.36 per share when it published results during the same quarter last year. Sales in that period totaled $1.02 billion.
Why Analyst Estimates And Earnings Surprises Are Important
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 match the consensus estimate, earnings would be up 56.62%. Revenue would be up 12.3% from the year-ago period. 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 2020 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Estimate | 0.69 | 1.16 | 1.68 | 1.25 |
| EPS Actual | 1.47 | 1.57 | 1.87 | 1.36 |
| Revenue Estimate | 974.48 M | 1.07 B | 1.12 B | 994.15 M |
| Revenue Actual | 1.03 B | 1.06 B | 1.13 B | 1.02 B |
