Revvity, Inc. (NYSE:RVTY) just reported healthy earnings but the stock price didn't move much. Investors are probably missing some underlying factors which are encouraging for the future of the company.
We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free.
Importantly, our data indicates that Revvity's profit was reduced by US$45m, due to unusual items, over the last year. While deductions due to unusual items are disappointing in the first instance, there is a silver lining. We looked at thousands of listed companies and found that unusual items are very often one-off in nature. And that's hardly a surprise given these line items are considered unusual. Assuming those unusual expenses don't come up again, we'd therefore expect Revvity to produce a higher profit next year, all else being equal.
That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates.
Because unusual items detracted from Revvity's earnings over the last year, you could argue that we can expect an improved result in the current quarter. Based on this observation, we consider it likely that Revvity's statutory profit actually understates its earnings potential! And the EPS is up 64% over the last twelve months. The goal of this article has been to assess how well we can rely on the statutory earnings to reflect the company's potential, but there is plenty more to consider. While it's really important to consider how well a company's statutory earnings represent its true earnings power, it's also worth taking a look at what analysts are forecasting for the future.

This note has only looked at a single factor that sheds light on the nature of Revvity's profit. But there are plenty of other ways to inform your opinion of a company. For example, many people consider a high return on equity as an indication of favorable business economics, while others like to 'follow the money' and search out stocks that insiders are buying.
