What is an earnings surprise?
How EPS surprise is calculated
An earnings surprise measures how far a company's reported earnings per share deviated from the analyst consensus estimate. The formula is: Surprise % = (Actual EPS − Estimated EPS) / |Estimated EPS| × 100. A positive result is a beat; a negative result is a miss. The absolute value denominator ensures the formula works correctly when the estimate itself is negative.
Why earnings surprises move stocks
Stock prices reflect expectations. When a company reports results significantly above or below those expectations, the market reprices future estimates — not just the current quarter. A large beat often signals that the business is accelerating faster than models assumed, which raises the present value of all future cash flows. A large miss forces analysts to revise estimates downward, compressing the stock's implied multiple.
Beats vs. misses: what to watch
Not all beats are equal. Check whether the surprise came from revenue growth and margin expansion (operational beat) or from cost cuts, lower taxes, or a share count reduction (financial engineering). Operational beats at sustainable margins are more likely to trigger upward estimate revisions. One-time items that inflated EPS will reverse, so the stock often gives back gains within weeks.
How to use this screener

Use the All / Beats / Misses tabs to narrow the table to the subset you want to analyze. 'All' shows the complete Q2 2026 universe sorted by surprise magnitude, making it easy to compare the distribution of beats and misses in a single view. Switch to Beats or Misses to focus your research on stocks that most surprised analysts in each direction.

Frequently asked questions
What is an earnings surprise?
An earnings surprise is the difference between a company's reported EPS (earnings per share) and the analyst consensus estimate before the quarter ended. When actual EPS exceeds the estimate, it's a beat — a positive surprise. When it falls short, it's a miss — a negative surprise. Surprise % = (Actual EPS − Estimated EPS) / |Estimated EPS| × 100. Large earnings surprises tend to move stock prices significantly because they signal the market's model for the business was materially wrong.
What counts as a big earnings surprise?
Surprises under 3% are routine — companies routinely guide analysts lower to manufacture a small beat. Surprises of 5–10% are notable and typically move the stock. Surprises above 10% are large and usually signal genuine outperformance rather than estimate management. Surprises above 50% often indicate the analyst estimate was very stale or the company had a significant one-time item. The screener shows surprise % so you can judge magnitude in context.
Why do stocks sometimes fall after an earnings beat?
Several dynamics can cause a stock to fall despite beating EPS estimates: guidance disappointment (the forward outlook was cut), a revenue miss alongside an EPS beat (cost cuts, not growth), margin compression visible in gross profit lines, or a 'sell the news' reaction when the beat was already priced in. Investors should check guidance, revenue, and operating cash flow alongside the EPS surprise to assess whether the beat was durable.
How often is this screener updated?
The earnings surprise data refreshes daily from our earnings pipeline. The period shown (Q2 2026) updates each quarter as new earnings seasons conclude. The screener reflects the most current data available — each row's report date shows when the company actually reported.
How do I use this screener to find investment ideas?
Start with the largest beats tab, sorted by EPS surprise %. Click through any company name to read the full article and determine whether the beat was driven by genuine operational improvement (revenue growth, margin expansion) or one-time items (tax benefit, asset sale, lower share count). Operational beats at reasonable valuations are the most actionable screen results — use the DCF calculator to price the stock after you've assessed the quarter.
