How does the reported earnings per share (EPS) compare to consensus analyst estimates?

Answer

The press release you shared does not include the specific earnings‑per‑share (EPS) figure for Berry Corporation’s second‑quarter 2025 results, nor does it provide the consensus analyst EPS estimate for the same period. Because both the reported EPS and the analyst consensus estimate are missing from the information you provided, a direct comparison cannot be made.

What would be needed to answer the question

1. Reported EPS – The company’s disclosed earnings per share for Q2 2025 (usually presented as “adjusted EPS” or “GAAP EPS” in the earnings release or accompanying slide deck).
   
2. Consensus analyst estimate – The average EPS forecast compiled by analysts covering Berry Corporation, typically reported by financial data providers such as Bloomberg, FactSet, Thomson Reuters, or S&P Capital IQ.

How the comparison is usually presented

• If the reported EPS exceeds the consensus estimate: The company “beat” expectations, which is often interpreted positively by the market and can lead to a share‑price rally.
• If the reported EPS falls short of the consensus estimate: The company “misses” expectations, which may be viewed negatively and could pressure the stock price.
• If the reported EPS is in line with the consensus estimate: The results are considered “in‑line,” and the market reaction will depend on other factors (e.g., revenue trends, guidance, margins, dividend, etc.).

Next steps

To determine the EPS comparison, you can:

• Review the full earnings release or the supplemental slide deck (linked in the release at www.bry.com). These documents typically contain a table with the EPS figures and may also note analyst expectations.
• Check financial news platforms or data services (e.g., Bloomberg, Reuters, FactSet) for the consensus EPS estimate that analysts had published prior to the earnings announcement.
• Contact Berry’s Investor Relations for clarification if the EPS number is not publicly posted.

If you can locate the EPS number and the analyst consensus estimate from any of those sources, you can then directly compare them (e.g., “Berry reported $0.45 EPS versus a consensus estimate of $0.38, representing a 19% beat”). Without those figures, the comparison cannot be completed based solely on the excerpt you provided.
