  analyst's estimate and the actual for each
  of the last 4 quarters. The report also
  shows the Consensus error for that quarter.

  the analysts' EPS projections for the
  current and next fiscal quarters.

  accurate analysts.

  recently released EPS estimates.

- An up or down arrow next to the
  estimate indicates a recent estimate
  revision. The direction of the arrow
  indicates the change from the analyst's
  previous estimate.

  Error section. Each column represents one
  of the past four fiscal quarters for the
  company and is identified in its heading by
  that quarter's end date.

- The data shown in each column is the
  Quarterly Analyst Error (difference between
  their estimate and the actual) for that
  quarter.

- * (Asterisk) -- An asterisk next to the
  analyst's estimate denotes a margin of
  error in the top twenty-five percent of all
  analysts. Observed when analyst's error is
  less then consensus error.

  error for each quarter. Consensus Error is
  the difference between the consensus
  estimate for the quarter and the actual
  quarterly EPS.
