>> Why didn't they do their homework in the first place? <<

Too many analysts have become much too comfy with being spoon-fed.
Too many analysts don't even understand or get correct what it is they have been spoon-fed.

Too many analysts do not want to do homework, known in other professions as working for a living.
Too many analysts don't know how to do homework.

Even with ample notice of Reg. FD's effective date, too many analysts did not prepare for its coming.

And the market still has entirely too much reaction from people who listen to these (cough, cough) analysts.

Every industry, every position level has its incompetent incumbents. Analysts are no exception to this fact. And the poor unsuspecting public hasn't caught on to that, even now.
