Sharp Consensus and Standout Estimates now available in one report

Written by FactSet Insight | Nov 20, 2014

The new Sharps and Standouts report allows you to easily identify companies in your portfolio or preferred index that currently have a Sharp consensus or Standout Estimate. Companies with a Sharp Consensus may indicate a market or company event has led to a revision of broker's estimates within a short window of time. Companies with a Standout Estimate indicate a situation where a specific broker has revised or issued an estimate that is a significant deviation from their peers. 

The Sharp Consensus tiles display the top 15 companies with a Sharp Consensus based on the percentage difference between the Sharp Consensus and the street consensus, as well as a graphical view of each of the current Sharp items. The Standout Estimate tiles show the latest 15 companies in the portfolio to have a Standout Estimate flagged, as well as the distribution of Standout Estimates in the portfolio for each item and period.
