GAAP earnings, despite popular opinion, don’t accurately measure profits. Companies can, and do, manipulate GAAP earnings through accounting rule loopholes. To find a “better” metric, investors turn to non-GAAP, whisper numbers, or Street Earnings to get additional insight into a company’s true fundamentals.
But, those numbers are, in fact, also proven to be misleading.
Rather than rely on flawed GAAP or Street Earnings, we leverage our Robo-Analyst AI Agent to scour the footnotes and MD&A of financial filings to calculate Core Earnings, a proven superior measure of earnings.
In these reports, we show:
- the prevalence and magnitude of understated GAAP Earnings in the S&P 500,
- that Street Earnings (and GAAP earnings) are flawed and misleading,
- how Core Earnings generate novel alpha, and
- the five S&P 500 companies most likely to beat earnings.
