While Mercantile Bank is expected to report an EPS of $1.24, the historical data shows that the stock's reaction to earnings reports can be unpredictable. Last quarter's beat resulted in a stock price drop, indicating that guidance may play a more significant role in short-term price movement than the earnings beat itself. Therefore, the short-term impact is neutral until the actual earnings and guidance are released.
