Hey guys, I'm trying to do a bit of research into what tends to make share prices move significantly following the release of earnings reports.
1. Could someone refer me to a source where I could quickly gather earnings estimates from a number of different analysts?
2. Also, assuming what drives share prices following the release of earnings reports is the difference between analyst/market expectations and reality, are there certain industries that tend to be notoriously difficult to predict earnings for (such that the companies within said industry tend to move more than average based on earnings reports)?
3. Does it seem like a fair assumption that huge companies in the S&P 500 would tend to move more based on earnings reports than lower cap ones due to the difference in attention paid to these earnings report releases?
Thanks in advance.
