What drives the forecast
- The revised model estimates normalized diluted EPS of $4.41, compared with the frozen September 24 Street estimate of $4.35.
- The revised research considers company size, index membership and prior earnings history before weighing quarter-specific evidence. Historical beat rates are a starting assumption, not a mechanical increase to EPS.
- The workbook was reviewed with Opus 5.5. Confirmed mechanical errors were repaired and the EPS calculation was recalculated. Remaining source gaps, judgmental inputs and supplemental-statement limitations are documented in the workbook.
The Street baseline: consensus snapshot, September 24, 2026. Results are scored only after the earnings basis is matched. Read the methodology.
