RE:IAG beats earnings callsThere a few ways of looking at this. Much will depend on which metric the pros will look at.
You mentioned one of them - EPS
I suggest as a counter point you look at page 13 of the MD&A where they talk about a 2.5 billion dollar loss in investment revenues attributed to higher interest rates. Also from page 36, they paid out more in dividends than their earnings this quarter - although for the 9 months they paid out a lot less in dividends than their earnings.
The related question though is how much of this is already factored into the SP. We will get an idea tomorrow.
