Earnings History
When I look at a stock, the first thing I do is look to see if the company is beating the number. This tells me right away where the market’s expectations have been for the company and how management has communicated to the market. A stock that consistently beats has management communicating expectations to Wall Street that can be achieved. That is what you want to see.
For USA Compression Partners, I see one beat and three misses of the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The good news in that is the most recent quarter was the beat.
