Curious how the system uses Surprise%Q1.
For instance, STZ had an earning release on 1/7 in which their surprise was about 10%. They also had one on 10/7/2015 when their surprise was about 19%.
Right now we are still in Q1… so if I use Surprise%Q1 is this looking at the most recent earnings release (1/7) or the one from one quarter back? In other words if I say I want Surprise%Q1 > 15% will I get it (because that was october) or not (because January was < 15%)?
If it’s the PRIOR quarter, is there any way to get the data for companies based on their last earnings release or those in the current quarter?
Thanks
