Consensus check

What the Street expects for a name, and whether recent news supports it.

Workflow

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
