What earnings per share (EPS) and revenue numbers were reported, and how do they compare to analyst expectations?
Answer
The excerpt you provided does not contain the specific financial figures for Farmer Macâs (tickerâŻAGM) secondâquarter 2025 results, so I canât give the exact earningsâperâshare (EPS) or revenue numbers, nor the comparison to analyst expectations, based solely on the text you shared.
What the excerpt includes
- Company: Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (FarmerâŻMac) â NYSE:âŻAGM / AGM.A
- Quarter reported: Q2âŻ2025 (second quarter)
- Key highlight mentioned: âOutstanding Business Volume Exceeds $30âŻBillion.â
- Source & date: PRNewswire press release, 7âŻAugustâŻ2025, 20:05âŻUTC.
What is missing (and therefore cannot be answered from the provided snippet)
| Metric | Information needed | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| EPS (earnings per share) | Reported EPS for Q2âŻ2025 and the EPS analysts were expecting (consensus estimate). | Allows investors to see whether profitability beat, met, or missed expectations. |
| Revenue (or net interest income, loanâorigination volume, etc.) | The actual revenue figure (or the specific revenue line FarmerâŻMac reports) and the consensus analyst forecast for that same line. | Shows whether the topâline growth is in line with market expectations. |
| Comparison to expectations | The âbeat/missâ percentage or dollar amount (e.g., âEPS of $0.12 vs. consensus $0.10, a 20% beatâ). | Directly answers the âhow do they compare to analyst expectations?â part of the question. |
What to do next
To obtain the precise numbers youâll need to look at the full press release (or a complete news article) that includes FarmerâŻMacâs earnings table. Typically, a quarterly earnings release will list:
- Net earnings (or net loss) for the quarter â from which EPS is derived.
- Revenue (or net interest income, loanâorigination volume, etc.) â the primary topâline figure.
- Analyst consensus estimates â often quoted in the same release or in a followâup analyst commentary piece (e.g., âFactSet consensus EPS: $0.10; consensus revenue: $1.2âŻBâ).
You can locate these details by:
- Visiting FarmerâŻMacâs investorârelations website and opening the âSecondâQuarter 2025 Resultsâ press release.
- Checking financial news services (e.g., Bloomberg, Reuters, Yahoo!âŻFinance) that often publish a âKey Metricsâ table comparing actual results to analyst expectations.
- Looking up the âAGMâ ticker on a market data platform that provides earnings surprise data (e.g., FactSet, ThomsonâŻReuters, S&PâŻCapital IQ).
If you can provide the missing portion of the press release (or a link to the full article), Iâll be able to extract the exact EPS and revenue numbers and give you a direct comparison to analyst expectations.
