Here is a quote from S & Ps documentation for the Compustat data: "Several Compustat files are available in both annual and quarterly formats. The industrial annual formats offer both historical and restated data. The industrial quarterly formats offer restated data, which is standardized. The restated data allows analysts to compare current and prior years’ results on a comparable basis and determine financial trends and growth rates" - (emphasis added) Does this mean what I think it means? |

No, both restated and as-reported have an 'effective date' (item by item) which we use to include/exclude at a Point In Time date ---------------------------------------- Portfolio123 Staff |
