1st quarterly earnings in month of May ?

Question

we thought the first quarterly earnings occur in the first 3months of the yearmy friends and I would be grateful if you could kindly clarify to us how to interpret the YAHOO FINANCE page

YAHOO FINANCE pages regarding

Analyst Estimates. eg for TG, Tredegar Corp. (TG), the last earnings was

on May 5th 08, already past. was the earnings on May 5th 08 the first

quarterly earnings for 08 , where the estimate was 0.25 and EPS acutal

was 0.17? that is the Mar-08 EPS Est of 0.25 and actual of 0.17

corresponded to the earnings on May 5th 08? as seen on http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ae?s=tg

Answer 1

Not all company is the same. some company prefer march, april or may for their 1st quarter. Don't hear other people's estimation about share. Because  there got a big gap between the real and estimate.
