Who better to provide expectations of key performance indicators such as EPS and revenue than the company executives themselves? Company earnings guidance is a major factor that affects market sentiment and analyst ratings, and of course, the price of a company’s securities. 

With a Corporate Guidance API, users can access detailed financial guidance, including earnings projections, revenue targets, and operating margin estimates, all updated in real-time. This allows investors and financial professionals to evaluate the performance of companies more accurately, adjust their investment strategies, and identify potential risks or opportunities.

Whether you run a quantitative hedge fund or a retail brokerage, see every update in one place by integrating Benzinga’s Guidance Calendar.
