We're just a few days out from Hudson Tech Inc (HDSN) reporting earnings. Lets take a look at how the stock is doing.
Analyst opinions suggest Hudson Tech Inc will report an EPS (earnings per share) of $0.40, EPS GAAP Estimate $0.39, and revenue of $96.02M on Wednesday.
HDSN bulls will be waiting to hear two things. The first is that the reported EPS beat the estimates of analysts. The stock will move on that news. The second is that the report outlines a positive growth story for the stock in the coming quarters.
If you're a bear you'll primarily care about two things. The first is that the reported EPS underperformed analysts estimates. The stock should move on just that news alone. The second is that the report paints a pretty depressing picture of how the company will decelerate or even see a decline in revenues over the following quarters. EPS underperformance, and a negative growth story, those are the things to watch.
Regardless of which side of the fence you're on, it's important to note that sometimes the company's earnings report plays less of a role in moving the price than the analysts' estimates. This is because the company's earnings report is a snapshot of the company's performance, and the analysts' estimates are a consensus projection of the company's future.
Shares of HDSN were trading at $8.14 as of July 26. Over the last 52-weeks, shares are down -24.35%. A larger percentage here can mean investors have a stronger bullish or bearish outlook on the stock.
