How to read this page
EPS (earnings per share) is the company's quarterly net income divided by its share count. The market doesn't judge it in isolation but against the analysts' estimate — the consensus.
An earnings surprise is how far the actual figure landed from the estimate. Some companies beat consistently, but that doesn't guarantee the next quarter will be the same.
The price reaction doesn't always match the result: a stock can fall on a good EPS print because the market also weighs revenue, guidance and margins. The move the options market prices in before the report is the expected move; a sustained one-directional move afterwards is post-earnings drift.
