Hi All, I was looking for some stocks and one of the interesting stocks I found was WRD. it went up very much and it is going down again now. I wanted to understand why it is going down. I found that earning news was not good. I found that websites do have different EPS for this stock which was very confusing !! First group : Let's start with Zacks. Zacks stated the reported EPS for Q2 as 0.39 (reference : https://www.zacks.com/stock/research/WRD/earnings-announcements) market beat stated the reported EPS as Zacks (0.39) Yahoo finance stated the reported EPS as 0.39 as well. second group : Market watch stated the reported EPS as -0.22 ( reference : https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/wrd/financials/income/quarter) Sec filing has the 10-Q document as EPS = +0.22! ( reference : https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1681714/000155837018006889/wrd-20180630x10q.htm) NASDAQ has EPS = -0.22 as well ( reference : https://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/wrd/revenue-eps) I don't know why I see different values. shouldn't they all be the same ? I went through different companies and some others have the same issue. different EPS for each site !
It doesn't matter that it's 2018 -- this is an old complaint. So, you'll get plenty of sympathetic readers, but few (new) answers. Sorry. I think, the best you can do is, much of what you've already done: shop around, look for consistency by release, and then from release-to-release.
Ok, I got it it. Many thanks but do you know why news and other big websites like Zacks or yahoo use different EPS number ?
I used to fret over EPS. Which is more accurate YTD or TTM ? Personally, I find Morningstar number to be most concise as it is shown in the Income Statement. https://financials.morningstar.com/income-statement/is.html?t=0P000000GY&culture=en-US&ops=clear
%% Well with a weak sector mostly; weak chart, weak price YTD, i would pick weakest eps + find something else. YHOO is not known for accuracy , but i use thier email
