LevelUp^ Earnings Line - Quarterly EPS
Updated
The LevelUp Earnings Line plots quarterly earning per share (EPS) data providing a visual representation of the earnings trend over time.
Earnings are a foundational concept that can have a significant impact on a stock's longer term performance. With the option to view earnings as a plot versus a table of statistics, you can quickly identify earnings acceleration or deceleration. A steep line upwards from one earnings release to another, or a series of progressively higher EPS values, indicates a strong earnings trajectory. The more pronounced the acceleration, the more likely the company is to outperform the market.
At each quarterly earnings release you can view the details for Reported (non-GAAP), Diluted and Basic EPS by hovering over the plotted symbols on the earnings line.
This indicator uses TradingView's financial functions to request the following EPS data:
▪ Reported (non-GAAP): this is one of the most popular ways to view earnings information. With non-GAAP, companies often exclude nonrecurring charges such as acquisitions and restructuring costs as these items are often not indicative of a companies overall performance.
▪ Basic: net income minus preferred dividends divided by the average number of common shares outstanding.
▪ Diluted: net income minus preferred dividends divided by the average number of common shares outstanding & convertible preferred shares such as convertible debt, equity options and warrants.
Although the quarterly earnings data is the same across all timeframes, viewing the longer term trend versus the shorter term trend is relevant based on the objectives of the investor. For example, the earnings growth on a monthly chart provides the big picture view, which may span years. This can be helpful for investors interested in more of a buy and hold approach.
The earnings trend on weekly and daily charts has fewer data points simply based on the shorter timeframe. This information is helpful for investors who are more focused on trades that may be weeks or months in length. The momentum and direction of the current earnings trend is of great importance for those looking to ride the current trend.
Summary:
Historical models have shown the best-performing companies have consistent earnings growth. Whether you are looking short or long term, understanding the earnings trend is a key factor in determining the potential price direction.
Key Features:
▪ Choose the EPS to plot: Reported (non-GAAP), Basic or Diluted.
▪ View stats for all EPS types.
▪ Plot on daily, weekly and monthly timeframes.
