Not enough comparable guidance to grade
3 of the 4 resolved guidance promises needed to publish a reliability grade. Some of this company’s guidance has no reported figure we can compare it with. It is shown below, never scored; the line under each statement says why. Here's what we're tracking — we never show a grade we can't back with receipts.

24 of 27 guidance figures that were graded or dropped for basis could not be graded on the same basis (89%). Guidance marked “not judged” is in neither number.
| Guidance type | Said | Graded | Dropped | Other |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue · non-GAAPcannot be graded | 45 | 0 | 7 | 38 |
| Revenue · basis not stated | 5 | 0 | 0 | 5 |
| EPS · GAAP | 4 | 3 | 0 | 1 |
| EPS · non-GAAPcannot be graded | 23 | 0 | 10 | 13 |
| EPS · basis not statedcannot be graded | 12 | 0 | 7 | 5 |
Said counts every revenue and EPS guidance figure on record. Dropped counts figures whose period was reported but which have no comparable GAAP actual in SEC XBRL. Other covers open, superseded, withdrawn and otherwise unresolved figures. The coverage note below counts every figure shown but not graded, including figures whose period has not been reported, so it can be larger.
