Blackline Largest EPS Surprises

This is why we often hear news about some companies beating earning projections. Financial analysts spend a large amount of time predicting earnings per share (EPS) along with other important future indicators.

Investors also form their own opinion of Blackline's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Blackline's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Blackline's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Blackline's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
