In our financial results coverage, the term 'Surprise Results' identifies securities that demonstrate a significant degree of surprise in their earnings announcements.
This significance is quantitatively assessed based on multiple factors, including: the nature of the announcement (full-year or quarterly results); types of revisions (earnings or dividend forecasts); and numerical analysis comparing the announced results with both the company's previous forecasts and historical performance.
The 'Surprise Ranking' presents these results in order of their calculated surprise factor. Please note that neither these results nor rankings are intended to suggest or guarantee future performance of the listed securities, nor should they be construed as recommendations to buy or sell.
