Before the release of a company's earnings, it is crucial to take into account any adjustments made to the earnings projections. Such revisions are essential for predicting potential investor behaviors towards the stock. Studies consistently demonstrate a significant relationship between the trends in earnings estimate revisions and the stock's short-term performance.

While most investors typically utilize consensus earnings and revenue estimates as benchmarks for evaluating a company's quarterly results, examining analysts' predictions for some of the company’s core metrics provides a more rounded understanding.
