How does the reported earnings per share compare to analysts’ consensus estimates?

Answer

The news release you provided does not contain the specific figures needed to answer the question. It tells us that Andrew Peller Limited (TSX: ADW) announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30 2025, but the release does not disclose:

  1. The reported earnings per share (EPS) for that quarter (e.g., “$ X.XX per share” or “$ Y.YY diluted EPS”).
  2. The analysts’ consensus EPS estimate that Wall Street or other research providers were expecting for the same period (e.g., “$ Z.ZZ per share”).

Without both the actual EPS figure and the consensus estimate, we cannot determine whether the company’s earnings per share:

  • Beat the consensus estimate (actual > estimate)
  • Met the consensus estimate (actual ≈ estimate)
  • Missed the consensus estimate (actual < estimate)

What to do next

  • Locate the full earnings release (often posted on the company’s investor‑relations website or the GlobeNewswire page). The complete release typically includes a “Financial Highlights” table that lists EPS (both basic and diluted) and may also present a “Management Discussion & Analysis” section with commentary on performance versus expectations.
  • Check the analysts’ consensus estimate from a financial data provider (e.g., Bloomberg, Refinitiv, FactSet, Thomson Reuters, or the “Consensus Estimate” tab on the Toronto Stock Exchange’s website). These platforms aggregate forecasts from multiple sell‑side analysts and publish the average expected EPS for the quarter.
  • Compare the two numbers: subtract the consensus estimate from the reported EPS, calculate the percentage difference, and note whether the result is a beat, miss, or in‑line.

Example of how the comparison would be presented (if the numbers were available):

Metric Reported EPS Consensus Estimate Difference % Difference Result
Q1 FY2026 (ended 30 Jun 2025) $1.23 $1.10 +$0.13 +11.8% Beat

Until the actual EPS and the consensus estimate are disclosed, any assessment of the company’s performance relative to analysts’ expectations cannot be made. If you can provide those figures (or a link to the full press release), I’ll be able to give you a precise, data‑driven comparison.
