How this scorecard is built
This scorecard counts only ATLAS results pages with a confirmed result and both an actual and an estimated EPS (351 of 353 tracked results). It is a sample of US companies tracked by ATLAS, not every company that reports and not the S&P 500, so its percentages should not be read as an index figure. EPS is in US dollars per share and follows the source’s definition (adjusted or GAAP).
