Output expectations
- Return a table of future periods with revenue and EPS ranges, averages, and analyst coverage
- After the table, summarize growth trajectory, estimate dispersion, and coverage quality
Analysis heuristics
- Implied growth: compare future estimates to current actuals
- Dispersion: wider ranges imply lower conviction
- Coverage depth: more analysts usually means a stronger consensus
- Near-term vs long-term: confidence should fall as periods move further out
Follow-up prompts
- "Compare these estimates to the last three years of actual results."
- "Calculate the implied forward P/E using the consensus EPS."
- "What could drive upside or downside versus the consensus?"
