Most Anticipated Earnings Reports: 3 Stocks To Watch | August 31

BullDude

This analysis gives you everything you need to know about the quarterly key business data just released in the earnings report from some of the most anticipated companies.

The key business data released are compared with:

  • Analyst Expectations:
    This comparison lets you know if the Revenue and EPS (Earnings Per Share) released were higher or lower than expected by analysts.
  • Same Quarter as Previous Years:
    This comparison lets you know if, compared to previous years, the company has been able to grow the volume of the business by increasing revenue, produce an improved operating/net income, produce an increased cash flow from operations and improve efficiency through the improvement of the 3 main business margins.

In addition to the focus on the results released in the last quarter, there is a section that shows the trend of key business data in recent years as the sum of the last 4 quarters (Trailing 12-Months) in order to also have a longer-term view.

Summary

Below is a summary of key data from the companies covered by this analysis.

In particular, the Revenue and Net Income of the last quarter are indicated with the growth rate compared to the same quarter of last year (YoY Growth) and how much they beat or disappointed analysts’ expectations (Revenue/EPS Surprise).

*Data are expressed in millions of dollars

Key Business Data

The key business data and business margins included in this analysis are the following:

  • Revenue
  • Operating Income and Operating Margin
  • Net Income and Net Margin
  • Cash Flow From Operations and CFO Margin
Learn more about metrics

An explanation of each of the metrics considered is provided below.

  • Revenue:
    Indicates the revenue generated by the company from the sale of products/services.
  • Operating Income and Operating Margin:
    Indicates the company’s operating income and is calculated by subtracting all operating costs (cost to produce goods/services, personnel costs, marketing costs, depreciation and other non-cash operating costs) from revenue. This metric is very important because it allows you to understand how the company is doing without being influenced by costs that are not directly related to the company’s production of goods/services. The Operating Margin is useful for knowing the company’s efficiency from an operational point of view, in fact it is calculated as the percentage of revenue that the company manages to transform into operating profit. The more the operating margin improves, the more efficient the company becomes.
  • Net Income and Net Margin:
    Indicates the profit after all costs, then starts from operating profit and subtracts all non-operating costs (extraordinary costs, financial interest, taxes). This metric is important because it allows you to know the company’s result by subtracting all types of costs and not just operational ones. The Net Margin is useful for understanding how much of the revenue it manages to transform into profit, therefore the more the net margin grows, the greater the ability to produce profit for the same revenue generated.
  • Cash Flow From Operations and CFO Margin:
    Indicates the cash flow that operations have generated or absorbed. This metric may look the same as operating income but it is actually different. In fact, in calculating the operating income, “non-monetary” operating costs are considered, ie those that do not really lead to a cash outflow such as depreciation and stock-based compensation. Therefore, the cash flow from operations turns out to be an extremely important metric because it tells us if the company’s operations are really generating a positive flow or if instead it is causing money to be lost. The CFO Margin indicates the amount of cash generated/burned by operations as a percentage of revenue and therefore tells us if the company is efficient. The more it improves over time, the more the company is able to generate cash from its operations for the same revenue.
