“Depending on how you look at it, (Citigroup's earnings) only beat by 2 cents, ... It's got to be better than two pennies to get people that excited.”
Arthur Hogan
“[Earnings, at 47 cents a share, beat by 2 cents the consensus forecast of analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call.] This is an exciting and extraordinary time for the company, ... are ready to rock.”
Sumner Redstone
“I had the lowest earnings per share on the Street, $1.00, so they're going to have about 15 cents higher depreciation and amortization. But relative to my peers, the EPS estimates that ranged anywhere from $1.30 to $2.38. I'm not sure where they went wrong in their analysis, but obviously, they were way off.”
Ty Carmichael
“Following the update we are raising our EPS (earnings per share) forecast for the current year from 201 cents to 205 cents.”
Joe Burnell
“We're fairly comfortable with our 77 cents earnings number. And on the basis of the 77 cents, the current stock price looks fairly attractive, historically, but also when you just start talking about fair value.”
Jonathan Cohen
“Assuming $8,000 variable contribution margin/unit, we estimate this translates into an earnings-per-share hit of 1 cent for every day of lost production. However, we also note that much of this lost production could be made up via overtime production once the plants are up and running again.”
Himanshu Patel
“We think Gap will at least meet our fourth-quarter earnings per share estimate of 40 cents per share, which is a penny above consensus.”
