On Tuesday, March 02, CHF Solutions (NASDAQ:CHFS) will release its latest earnings report. Benzinga's outlook for CHF Solutions is included in the following report.
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 RevenueAnalysts are predicting CHF Solutions will report a loss of $1.26 per share on revenue of $1.30 million. In the same quarter last year, CHF Solutions reported EPS of $1.12 on revenue of $1.37 million.
Why Analyst Estimates And Earnings Surprises Are ImportantAnalysts 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.
