IMPORTANT: estimates were rebuilt to correct missing data

Dear All,

As discussed here we discovered several data points missing in the estimates S&P database. We were told that a periodic full reload is the only way to correct these rare issues. We plan to do this in the future every few months or so.

We have done a full reload and recalculated the estimates since 2017. Below is the before & after for CSCO, one of the stocks affected that has been showing N/As for current & next Q estimates since last year for all ratios associated like estimate, # of analysts, etc.

In the chart is the ratio #AnalystsCurQ which now has data, but it also shows difference which are highlighted after rebuild. Obviously the new data, and the slight differences, will cause differences in your simulation re-runs. They should be minimal however.

Thanks for your patience and for pointing out the problems.

NOTE: a quick back of the envelope sample revealed about 40 stocks affected for the current Q estimate.
