Answer
Based on the information you supplied about Willdan Groupâs (WLDN) secondâquarter 2025 results, the press release lists the companyâs actual performance metrics (e.g., contract revenue, net revenue, net income, adjusted EBITDA, GAAP and adjusted diluted EPS). However, it does not provide any reference to consensus analyst estimates for those same measures.
Because the press release (or the summary you shared) does not disclose:
- The consensusâestimate figures for net income, EPS, or any other key metric.
- The magnitude of any âbeatâ (i.e., the difference between actual results and the consensus forecast).
we cannot determine from the given material whether Willdanâs earnings beat consensus estimates, nor quantify how much they might have exceeded those forecasts.
What would be needed to answer the question
To assess whether the earnings beat consensus estimatesâand to calculate the size of the beatâyou would need the following additional data:
| Metric | Actual result (from the release) | Consensus estimate (from analysts) | Difference (beat) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net income (or GAAP diluted EPS) | $15.4âŻM (net income) / $1.03âŻEPS | Analystâconsensus net income or EPS | (Actual â Estimate) |
| Adjusted EBITDA (or Adjusted diluted EPS) | $21.9âŻM / $1.50âŻEPS | Analystâconsensus adjusted EBITDA or EPS | (Actual â Estimate) |
These consensus numbers are typically reported by financial data providers (e.g., Bloomberg, FactSet, ThomsonâŻReuters) or mentioned in the companyâs earnings call transcript or accompanying analyst commentary. Without that benchmark, a âbeatâ calculation cannot be performed.
How to obtain the missing information
- Check the full earnings press release â Companies sometimes include a âResults vs. consensusâ table that lists the consensus estimate for each key metric.
- Review the earnings call transcript â Management often comments on how results compare to analyst expectations.
- Consult a financial data platform â Look up âWilldan Group Q2 2025 consensus estimatesâ on Bloomberg, FactSet, ThomsonâŻReuters, or similar services.
- Search news articles covering the same earnings release â Thirdâparty reporters sometimes highlight whether the company beat, missed, or met consensus.
Bottom line
- From the provided news excerpt alone: No, we cannot confirm whether Willdanâs earnings beat consensus estimates, nor quantify any potential beat.
- To answer definitively: Youâll need to locate the consensus analyst forecasts for the relevant metrics (net income, EPS, etc.) and compare them to the actual results listed in the press release. Once those figures are available, the âbeatâ amount is simply the difference between the actual result and the consensus estimate.
