Company Research and Valuation

Align earnings estimates, financial results and valuation inputs before drawing company-level conclusions.

11 guides

• Align A-share broker EPS forecasts by fiscal year

  Deduplicate A-share broker forecasts by firm and fiscal year, calculate a dated sample mean and keep it separate from a provider's consensus estimate.

• Evaluate broker forecasts at a consistent forecast horizon

  Compare archived broker EPS forecasts at equal lead times, retain missing coverage and near-zero actuals, and separate accuracy from an unsupported broker ranking.

• Locate disagreement in broker earnings forecasts

  Separate forecast years and freshness, locate a specific broker's EPS deviation and retain it for targeted report review instead of averaging away unexplained assumptions.

• Rebuild a broker price target from EPS and its multiple

  Check a supplied report's EPS year, currency, dilution basis and valuation method, reproduce a PE-based target and reconcile its change through an explicit driver bridge.

• Measure earnings surprise against a pre-release snapshot

  Match a frozen EPS estimate to the released result on period, dilution and accounting basis, then calculate comparable differences and block late or incompatible inputs.

• Compare peer stocks using one forward earnings period

  Recalculate peer forward PE from a common valuation date and matched EPS periods, preserve noncomparable rows and measure the target stock against an explicit peer median.

• Calculate profit needed to meet a full-year earnings forecast

  Subtract compatible year-to-date profit from a full-year forecast, compare the remaining-period requirement with seasonal history, and keep missing share assumptions visible.

• Reverse DCF: solve the growth implied by a stock price

  Solve a reverse DCF within an explicit growth range, check the price residual and expose terminal-value dependence instead of inventing a market consensus.

• Build a stock DCF from financial inputs you have verified

  Calculate annual FCFF, discount terminal value and reconcile enterprise value to per-share equity while checking currency, share count and assumptions.

• Track earnings revisions with matched broker forecasts

  Pair broker EPS estimates for one fixed fiscal year across two saved snapshots, calculate supported revisions and separate changing coverage from genuine matched changes.

• Update an earnings model and trace the change in EPS

  Replace reported quarters and revise only supported future drivers in a personal earnings model, then reconcile the separate effects on forecast EPS and preserve unknown inputs.
