Zacks Equity Research
·2-min read

For the quarter ended March 2024, PSEG (PEG) reported revenue of $2.76 billion, down 26.5% over the same period last year. EPS came in at $1.31, compared to $1.39 in the year-ago quarter.

The reported revenue represents a surprise of +4.13% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.65 billion. With the consensus EPS estimate being $1.32, the EPS surprise was -0.76%.

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.
