Lesson 6 / 6

What you have built across five lessons

Before the project, a quick map of what you now know and how it connects. Five skills. One integrated framework.

01

Report anatomy

Revenue, EPS, gross margin, guidance — the five signals.

02

Consensus & whisper

How estimates form, why they are biased, and the unofficial bar.

03

Ten-minute framework

A repeatable five-step process for any earnings release.

04

Metric weighting

Revenue vs EPS by sector. Which metric the market actually watches.

05

Guidance decoding

Types, sandbagging, transcript signals, and the guidance sandwich.

The project brief
You will analyze one company reporting this quarter using only public information — the earnings release and the Earnings Estimates game data. Complete the structured four-step analysis and submit a one-paragraph investment thesis to earn your certificate.

Four steps. One thesis. One certificate.

Complete each step in order. The “Continue” button unlocks once you have filled in all fields in that step. Take your time — especially on step two.

Choose a company reporting this quarter. Pick one you know something about — familiarity with the business model helps you interpret the guidance signals more accurately.

Enter the ticker symbol of the company you want to analyze.

A sentence or two — this anchors your thesis later.
