What the press release tells us
- Reported earnings per share (EPS) for Q2âŻ2025
- Basic EPS: $0.31
- Diluted EPS: $0.29
- Basic EPS: $0.31
These figures are the only EPS numbers provided in the GlobeNewswire announcement.
What we doâŻnot have
The release does not include any reference to analystsâ expectations, such as a consensus EPS estimate from Wall Street, broker research, or earningsâforecast aggregators (e.g., Bloomberg, FactSet, Refinitiv, Zacks, etc.). Consequently, we cannot directly compare the reported $0.31/$0.29 EPS to a consensus figure using only the information supplied in the news item.
How you can obtain the consensus estimate
Financial data platforms â Look up âOPHC Q2âŻ2025 EPS consensusâ on Bloomberg, FactSet, Refinitiv, or S&P Capital IQ. These services compile analystsâ forecasts and typically publish a mean (consensus) EPS estimate along with a high/low range.
Brokerage research â Many brokerâdealing houses (e.g., BofA Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, etc.) release earnings preview notes that cite their own and peersâ EPS expectations.
Earningsâpreview newsletters â Services such as Zacks Earnings Preview, Seeking Alpha âEarnings Estimatesâ, or Yahoo!âŻFinanceâs âEarnings Estimateâ tab provide a quick view of the consensus figure.
Companyâs investorârelations Q&A â Occasionally, after earnings releases the companyâs IR team will field analyst questions in a webcast transcript, where analysts may quote their expectations.
What to do once you have the estimate
Calculate the beat/miss:
[
\text{Beat/Miss (\%)} = \frac{\text{Reported EPS} - \text{Consensus EPS}}{\text{Consensus EPS}} \times 100
]
Use either the basic or diluted number depending on what the consensus source reports (most consensus estimates are for diluted EPS).Contextualize the result:
- A positive percentage indicates the company beat expectations.
- A negative percentage indicates a miss.
- The magnitude of the beat or miss can influence the stockâs shortâterm price reaction and may affect future guidance revisions.
- A positive percentage indicates the company beat expectations.
Bottom line
From the press release alone, we know OptimumBank Holdings reported $0.31 basic EPS (or $0.29 diluted EPS) for Q2âŻ2025, but the information does not contain analystsâ consensus EPS estimates. To determine whether the company beat, met, or missed consensus expectations, youâll need to retrieve the consensus figure from an external financialâdata source or analyst research and then perform the simple comparison shown above.
