Why EPS Matters? Earnings per share(EPS), refers to the income per share brought to investors/shareholders in the open market. EPS is calculated as a company's profit divided by the outstanding shares of its common stock. The resulting number serves as an indicator of a company's profitability. Investors like companies with high profitability, and the market always rewards those earnings results that beat the estimates. Hope the following content helps you learn more about good companies. 2.Why are some stocks rejected rise even though EPS is higher？ Some reasons can be considered such as: 1) The earnings data is already priced in? 2) The data below the forecasts that the company had previously made? 3) There might be day traders who have profited from the increase (especially in the case of companies with a small market capitalization) If you are interested in any profitable company's future, feel free to add it to your watch list and perform further fundamental analysis and position plans before trading. 3. Below are some possible reasons for the drop after earnings: $Danaher(DHR)$’s net sales of $6,873 million outperformed the consensus estimate of $6,611.7 million. However, it declined 10.3% year over year due to a decrease in the sale of COVID-related products and weak demand in the Life Sciences segment. $Barclays PLC(BCS)$ reported Q3 net income attributable to ordinary equity holders of £1.27 billion ($1.61 billion), down 16% from the prior-year quarter. $Canadian National Railway(CNI)$ reported quarterly earnings surprise of -2.33% vs. a quarter ago. $Cadence Design(CDNS)$ top estimate by earnings results for many years, but its revenue guidance for next quarter underwhelmed. $Sherwin-Williams(SHW)$ reports strong Q3 2023 earnings, raises full-year guidance. It raised over 3% in the opening but closed at a price of -1.53%. $General Motors(GM)$ says Q3 results affected by strike, and withdraws full-year guidance. after the earnings report was released the UAW announced that 5,000 members would go on strike at one of GM’s most profitable plants. Chicago-based $Archer-Daniels Midland(ADM)$ said it was raising its full-year earnings outlook after a strong first three quarters of the year, but ADM's Nutrition segment posted lower results on weak demand for meat protein alternatives $Teck Resources Ltd(TECK)$ plunged to their lowest price in nearly seven months after the Canadian miner raised the cost of its flagship copper mine in Chile once again. $NVR Inc(NVR)$ got net income beat, but its revenue lowered than the market’s expectation, also lower than the data of the same period in last year. 4.
