See Pro →Guidance by basis
23 of 52 guidance figures that were graded or dropped for basis could not be graded on the same basis (44%). Guidance marked “not judged” is in neither number.
| Guidance type | Said | Graded | Dropped | Other |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue · basis not stated | 48 | 29 | 0 | 19 |
| EPS · non-GAAPcannot be graded | 48 | 0 | 23 | 25 |
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 Other covers open, superseded, withdrawn and otherwise unresolved figures.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.
