STARMINE EARNINGS SURPRISE FORECAST

Looking forward at quarterly performance, we use StarMine’s SmartEstimate® from Refinitiv to determine which companies in the S&P 500 are better poised to beat and miss earnings estimates. The SmartEstimate® is a weighted average of analyst estimates, with more weight given to more recent estimates and more accurate analysts. Our studies have shown that when the SmartEstimate® differs significantly from the consensus (I/B/E/S mean estimate), the Predicted Surprise accurately predicts the direction of earnings surprises or further revisions 70% of the time. When a significant Predicted Surprise for revenue is also present for the period, the accuracy improves to 78%.

StarMine ARM from Refinitiv is an analyst revisions stock ranking model, designed to predict future changes in analyst sentiment. ARM incorporates more accurate earnings estimates through the SmartEstimate prediction service. ARM region rankings scores companies by region on a scale of 1 to 100 where 100 represents the most bullish sentiment.
