Consensus check
What the Street expects for a name, and whether recent news supports it.
Workflow
- Consensus snapshot.
data_equity_estimates for price targets
(mean/median, range vs current), forward EPS and revenue by period with
analyst counts and expected growth, and the buy/hold/sell spread.
- Corroborate.
search + visit recent, authoritative coverage — the
latest earnings/guidance, notable upgrades/downgrades, and the direction of
estimate revisions. Ground each specific claim in a page you read.
- Report. The consensus expectation and the dispersion (tight vs wide
targets), the rating skew, and whether recent developments are pushing
estimates up or down.
Principles
- These are estimates — present them as consensus expectations, not facts,
and note the dispersion (a wide target range is itself the signal).
- Pair the tool's consensus numbers with what changed recently; a stale
consensus and a fresh guidance cut tell different stories.
- Attribute web-sourced specifics to the page you read; mark anything you
couldn't confirm as unverified.
