fin.earnings-surprise Calculator
Calculates earnings surprise (actual vs. estimated EPS) as a percentage and year-over-year EPS growth. Positive earnings surprises are the most reliable short-term stock price catalyst — the magnitude of the surprise matters more than whether it's positive.
Inputs
Actual Eps
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Consensus Eps
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Prior Eps
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Results
earnings surprise
Sample size or count used in the calculation.
YoY growth
The absolute increase in value over the period. Growth = final value minus initial value.
beat or miss?
The value at the specified point or condition.
actual EPS
Earnings per share — net income divided by shares outstanding. Rising EPS is positive if driven by real earnings growth, not just share buybacks reducing the denominator.
consensus
Sample size or count used in the calculation.
rule of thumb
A widely used practical approximation or heuristic for this field — useful for quick estimates but not a substitute for rigorous calculation.
