Read MoreHide Full Article
For the quarter ended December 2023, Devon Energy (DVN - Free Report) reported revenue of $4.15 billion, down 3.6% over the same period last year. EPS came in at $1.41, compared to $1.66 in the year-ago quarter.
The reported revenue represents a surprise of +7.11% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.87 billion. With the consensus EPS estimate being $1.39, the EPS surprise was +1.44%.
While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.
Since these metrics play a crucial role in driving the top- and bottom-line numbers, comparing them with the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated about them helps investors better project a stock's price performance.
