How does the earnings per share (EPS) compare to the prior quarter and same period last year?

Answer

The brief press‑release you’ve shared does not disclose the actual earnings‑per‑share (EPS) numbers for the June 30 2025 quarter, so we can’t calculate a direct quarter‑over‑quarter or year‑over‑year change from this excerpt alone. The full earnings announcement (or the company’s Form 10‑Q filed with the SEC) will list the “GAAP EPS” and the “adjusted EPS” for Q2 2025, Q1 2025, and Q2 2024, allowing you to compute:

• Quarter‑over‑quarter (Q2 2025 vs. Q1 2025) – shows the short‑term momentum of profitability.
  
• Year‑over‑year (Q2 2025 vs. Q2 2024) – highlights whether the business is sustaining growth or facing a slowdown.

What to do next

1. Pull the detailed results – locate Venture Global’s earnings release on the investor‑relations site or the SEC’s EDGAR database. The EPS figures are typically in the “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income” and in the “Key Financial Metrics” table.
   
2. Benchmark the change – calculate the percentage change:
   [ \%Δ{\text{QoQ}} = \frac{EPS{Q2 2025} - EPS{Q1 2025}}{EPS{Q1 2025}} \times 100\% ]
   [ \%Δ{\text{YoY}} = \frac{EPS{Q2 2025} - EPS{Q2 2024}}{EPS{Q2 2024}} \times 100\% ]
   
3. Translate to a trade idea –
   
   • If EPS is up both QoQ and YoY, the earnings beat may already be priced in, but a strong upside could still justify a short‑term long position or a buy‑on‑dip if the stock has pulled back on technical weakness.
     
   • If EPS is down QoQ but up YoY, the market may view the dip as a temporary blip; consider a cautious long with a tighter stop, especially if the price is holding above key support (e.g., the 50‑day SMA).
     
   • If EPS is down on both fronts, the earnings miss could trigger a sell‑or‑short‑bias; watch for confirmation on the price chart (e.g., a break below the 20‑day EMA) before committing larger capital.

Until the exact EPS numbers are confirmed, the prudent approach is to wait for the full filing and then align your position size and stop‑loss levels with the direction and magnitude of the EPS change, while also factoring in the prevailing market sentiment toward the energy sector and any technical trends in VG’s price action.
