What was the reported earnings per share (EPS) for Q2 2025 and how does it compare to analyst consensus?

Answer

The press release you referenced (“Williams Delivers Strong Second‑Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Raises Full‑Year 2025 Guidance”) does not include the actual earnings‑per‑share (EPS) figure for the second quarter of 2025, nor does it provide the analyst consensus figure for comparison.

Because the specific EPS number and the corresponding analyst consensus are not disclosed in the excerpt you provided, I’m unable to give a direct answer to “what was the reported EPS for Q2 2025 and how it compares to analyst expectations.”

What you can do next

  1. Read the full earnings release – The full press‑release or the accompanying investor presentation normally contains a section titled “Financial Highlights” or a table that lists:

    • Adjusted (or GAAP) EPS for the quarter.
    • The consensus EPS estimate from analysts (often provided by Bloomberg, FactSet, Refinitiv, etc.).

  2. Check analysts’ reports – Financial‑data providers (e.g., Bloomberg, FactSet, S&P Global) typically publish the consensus EPS estimate prior to the earnings announcement. Comparing the reported EPS to the consensus will tell you whether Williams (WMB) “beat,” “met,” or “missed” expectations.

  3. Check secondary news coverage – Business‑wire releases are often republished by news outlets (e.g., Reuters, MarketWatch, CNBC). Those articles sometimes summarize the EPS versus consensus in a headline like “Williams beats Q2 EPS estimate of $X.XX per share.”

If you can locate the detailed earnings release (usually available on the Williams Investor Relations website or via a financial data provider), you’ll be able to extract both the reported EPS and the analyst consensus and then determine the nature of the variance (e.g., “EPS of $1.12, versus a consensus of $1.04 – a 7.7% beat”).

Without the specific EPS figure in the excerpt you posted, the exact numbers cannot be provided here.
