Are analysts backing off earnings estimates? According to the First Call Earnings section of AOL earnings estimates for Q2 have been dropped from .08 to .07 during the last week. Does anyone know which(or both) of the firms has lowered their earnings expectations. Also, the Nelson's Consensus Earnings Estimate found @ the WSRN.COM link shows estimates of Q2 at .07, Q3 at .08, and current year at .22. These numbers are well below the First Call Estimates of Q3 at .17 and current year at.57. Anyone know of any reason for the significant variation in the estimates from these sources? It has been generally accepted on this thread that Ardes 2K would have little impact on Q2 results. If, however, analysts are coming off of Q3 and Q4 projections this can only be due to reports from the company that sales are not going to justify previous EPS projections IMO. I am not a subscriber to any of the 'pay per view' earnings estimate sources but would be interested in hearing from anyone who may have any comments concerning the wide gap in reported earnings estimates.
