Consensus Estimate

Consensus estimate is an estimate derived from the forecasts of multiple independent analysts, usually summarized as an average or median for a specified measure and period.

Why this matters to income investors

Independent forecasts supply the forward quarters in Fly High’s earnings estimate; check the measure and period they forecast.

How to use consensus estimate in your research

Confirm the accounting basis, share count, and period before comparing figures. Trace material changes to the company’s reported results and ask whether they reach the earnings measure it uses to explain its dividend.
