Earnings Forecasts
Per-quarter consensus estimates + actuals + beat/miss surprise. Sourced from Finnhub (Wall Street consensus aggregation).
Source caveat: Finnhub free tier returns the consensus mean only — analyst high / low / dispersion + analyst counts require a paid plan. A "$5.00 consensus" line above could mean "20 analysts at exactly $5" (high conviction) or "10 at $5.50, 10 at $4.50" (split). Treat single-line consensus accordingly.

ELECTRONIC ARTS INC. — Effective Tax Rate ReconciliationNEW
Bridges from the federal statutory rate (21% post-TCJA) to the effective tax rate via the issuer's tax-note reconciliation lines. Sourced from EffectiveIncomeTaxRateReconciliation* flat CompanyFacts concepts. Conditional lines (R&D credits, FDII, SBC, valuation allowance, etc.) only render when the issuer discloses them. Persistent divergence between accrual tax expense and cash taxes paid is a leading signal for deferred-tax buildup.
