StarMine 24Q1 Russell 1000 Earnings Surprise Results

by Tajinder Dhillon.

In April 2024, we published our 24Q1 earnings surprise candidates based on StarMine predictive analytics. Using the Russell 1000 Index as our universe, our earnings surprise predictions scored 90% correct.

The StarMine SmartEstimate®  is a weighted average of analyst estimates, with more weight given to more recent estimates and more accurate analysts. Our research has shown that when the SmartEstimate® differs significantly from the consensus (I/B/E/S Mean), the Predicted Surprise accurately predicts the direction of earnings surprises or further revisions 70% of the time. When significant Predicted Surprise for revenue is also present for the period, the accuracy improves to 78%.

Since 2011 Q4, we’ve posted our earnings surprise candidates for earnings beats and misses. The running total from 2011 Q4 through 2023 Q4 of S&P 500 companies beat earnings estimates is 68.5% and 15.8% for companies that missed. Over this same period, the LSEG Proprietary Research team’s positive surprise candidates have been correct 85.1% of the time and correctly called 69.2% of negative surprise candidates.
