What is the earnings per share (EPS) outlook, and how does it compare to analyst consensus?

Answer – EPS outlook and comparison to analyst consensus cannot be determined from the provided news release.

The excerpt you provided summarizes Vest Vestis Corp.’ third‑quarter 2025 financial results (revenue, operating income, net loss, adjusted EBITDA, cash flows and liquidity). However, the release does not contain any of the following information that would be needed to answer your question:

Missing Information Why it matters for your question
EPS guidance or outlook (e.g., “We expect FY 2025 EPS of $X.xx.”) Without a stated EPS forecast, we have no "outlook" to discuss.
Analyst consensus estimates (e.g., consensus EPS of $Y.yy for Q3 2025 from Bloomberg, FactSet, etc.) Without a published analyst figure we cannot compare any forecast to a consensus number.
Management commentary on earnings expectations Companies sometimes discuss EPS in the earnings‑call transcript or “Outlook” section, which is not present here.
Historical EPS or per‑share numbers (e.g., EPS for the quarter reported) The release provides net‑loss ($0.7 M) but does not disclose net‑income or EPS on a per‑share basis.

What does this mean?

  • EPS Outlook: No EPS guidance was disclosed in the provided Business Wire announcement. Therefore, we cannot state what Vest Vestis anticipates for its earnings per share in the upcoming quarter or fiscal year.
  • Analyst Consensus Comparison: Because no consensus estimate is mentioned in the release (and no external data is supplied here), we cannot compare any EPS outlook to the expectations of Wall‑Street analysts.

How to obtain the requested information

If you need the EPS outlook and a comparison to analyst consensus, you would typically look for:

  1. The “Outlook” or "Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A)" section of the full earnings release or the accompanying press release, which often contains EPS guidance.
  2. Analyst estimates from financial data providers (e.g., Bloomberg, FactSet, Refinitiv) that show the consensus EPS forecast for the quarter or overall fiscal year.
  3. Earnings-call transcripts (often posted on the investor‑relations site) where management might discuss expected EPS and compare it to market expectations.

Once those figures are available, a comparison can be made by juxtaposing the company's EPS forecast against the consensus number and highlighting any upside/downsides.

Bottom line: The current news excerpt does not contain any EPS outlook or analyst consensus data, so a direct answer cannot be provided based on the information provided. If you can supply the missing EPS or analyst‑consensus figures, I can promptly generate a precise comparison.
