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.

National CineMedia, 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.

National CineMedia, Inc. — M&A AcquisitionsNEW

Per-deal acquisition disclosures sourced from us-gaap:BusinessAcquisitionAxis dimensional XBRL. Each card surfaces the deal's purchase-price allocation (goodwill vs intangibles vs liabilities), contingent consideration (unpaid earn-outs), and pro-forma combined-entity numbers. Probability-of-Success (PoS) factor on biotech targets is the ASC 805 contingent-consideration valuation — higher = closer to commercialization, higher implied target value.
