$Northwest Bancshares(NWBI)$ 2Q24 Report – Financial Instability with EPS at $0.04? NWBI reported its earnings for 2Q24 on July 23, and the share price increased by 4.5% immediately after. You may be asking what caused such a positive response from the public and in short, they beat the Earnings Per Share (EPS) estimate by 21.8% at 0.27. However, it is important to note that the amount that beat expectations excludes a significant loss on the sale of investments of $28 million plus $1 million of restructuring expenses. This means that their actual EPS was $0.04.

Is NEP lying about its EPS numbers?
I was struck by something quite unexpected when $NextEra Energy Partners LP(NEP)$ reported a shocking 73% decrease in their EPS for the Six Months Ended June 30 compared to 2023. This caught my interest as most analysts usually focus on Earnings Per Share (EPS) and income numbers when screening stocks.

This strongly suggests that their net interest income may have outperformed their interest costs. In my opinion, when this occurs, it should be rightly labeled as "interest income". However, the twist lies in the fact that the reported n
