Yahoo Earnings Estimates Misleading I just realized that that Yahoo earnings estimates are prone to misinterpretation. biz.yahoo.com The site has the following table: This quarter(Dec01) Next Quarter(Mar02) Current 0.13 0.08 7 days ago 0.02 0.15 My previous interpretation led me to believe that the estimates are being revised upward for the Dec01 quarter (from 0.02 to 0.13), and downward for the Mar02 quarter (from 0.15 to 0.08). I now believe this interpretation to be incorrect. The proper interpretation should be that the "next quarter's earnings estimate 7 days ago of 0.15 (which was the Dec01 quarter) has been revised downward to 0.13". This new interpretation of the table leads to a more negative view of the estimated earnings trend. The March02 quarter earnings estimate of only 0.08 does not look good when compared to the stock price.
