Did the earnings beat or miss analyst expectations, and by how much?

Answer

Based on the information you supplied, the press‑release from OceanaGold (ticker OCG) highlights the company’s own performance metrics for the quarter:

These figures are presented as “record” results, indicating that they are the best the company has achieved to date. However, the release does not provide any reference to analyst consensus estimates or expectations for net profit, earnings per share (EPS), or any other financial measure.

Why we cannot determine a “beat” or “miss”

• No analyst estimate disclosed: The press‑release excerpt you shared does not mention what analysts were forecasting for net profit, adjusted EPS, or free cash flow for this quarter.
• No comparison in the article: There is no statement such as “the results topped the Street’s consensus of $X per share” or “missed the consensus estimate of $Y million.”
• Missing third‑party data: Analyst expectations are typically compiled by data providers (e.g., Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters, FactSet, S&P Capital IQ) and are not automatically included in a company‑issued press‑release unless the company explicitly cites them.

How you could find the “beat/miss” information

1. Check financial data platforms – Services like Bloomberg, Refinitiv (formerly Thomson Reuters), FactSet, or S&P Capital IQ publish consensus analyst estimates for each reporting period. A quick search for “OceanaGold Q3 2025 consensus EPS” (or the relevant quarter) would show the average forecast.
2. Look at brokerage research reports – Many broker houses issue pre‑earnings notes that list their own expectations. If you have access to a brokerage account, you can view the analyst’s earnings preview.
3. Search news wires for analyst commentary – Sometimes other news outlets (e.g., Reuters, MarketWatch, The Wall Street Journal) will publish a “company beats expectations” story that includes the consensus estimate and the amount of the beat/miss.
4. Company’s earnings call transcript – In the call, management often references whether they “beat” or “missed” the Street’s expectations and may even quote the consensus number.

What we can infer from the language used

• The term “record” (record net profit, record adjusted EPS, record free cash flow) tells us the results are the highest the company has posted historically, but it does not guarantee they are above analyst forecasts.
  
• Companies sometimes highlight “record” results even when they miss consensus expectations (e.g., if the prior record was still below analysts’ higher forecasts). Conversely, a “record” result is often, but not always, a beat of consensus estimates.

Bottom line

From the press‑release excerpt you provided, we cannot definitively say whether OceanaGold’s earnings beat or missed analyst expectations, nor can we quantify the magnitude of any beat or miss. To answer that question, you would need to locate the consensus analyst estimates for the quarter in question from a financial data service, brokerage research, or a news article that explicitly compares the reported results to those estimates. Once you have the consensus figure, the calculation is straightforward:

[
\text{Beat/Miss (\$)} = \text{Reported Value} - \text{Consensus Estimate}
]

[
\text{Beat/Miss (\%)} = \frac{\text{Beat/Miss (\$)}}{\text{Consensus Estimate}} \times 100
]

If you can obtain the consensus numbers, feel free to share them and I can compute the exact beat/miss for you.
