Great Western Bancorp (NYSE:GWB) announces its next round of earnings this Thursday, July 29. Here is Benzinga's everything-that-matters guide for this Thursday's Q3 earnings announcement.
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.
Wall Street expects EPS of $0.76 and sales around $115.99 million. Great Western Bancorp reported a profit of $0.1 per share when it published results during the same quarter last year. Sales in that period totaled $94.57 million.
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 post earnings in line with the consensus estimate when it reports Thursday, EPS would be up 660.0%. Sales would be have grown 22.65% from the same quarter last year. Here is how the company's EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past:
