Read MoreHide Full Article
RE/MAX (RMAX - Free Report) reported $78.29 million in revenue for the quarter ended March 2024, representing a year-over-year decline of 8.3%. EPS of $0.20 for the same period compares to $0.26 a year ago.
The reported revenue compares to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $78.14 million, representing a surprise of +0.19%. The company delivered an EPS surprise of +17.65%, with the consensus EPS estimate being $0.17.
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.
As these metrics influence top- and bottom-line performance, comparing them to the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated helps investors project a stock's price performance more accurately.
