Most important--Earnings per share versus Consensus Estimate

Estimate from Zacks or other service. The reported number versus the estimate has the most immediate effect on the price of a stock.

Rik--

By far, I believe future earnings growth is most important. Good case in point was AMAT which blew away consensus estimate yesterday but was trading down this morning due to comments regarding backlog.

I like to read press releases which comment about bookings/backlog for the quarter. Gross margin info is also important.
