As these metrics influence top- and bottom-line performance, comparing them to the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated helps investors project a stock's price performance more accurately.

Here is how TDS performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:

Operating Revenues- TDS Telecom: $248.41 million versus the two-analyst average estimate of $256.75 million. The reported number represents a year-over-year change of -6.3%.
