Hi They are both correct.
The numbers we have for earnings come from Reuters, the call them actuals. They are comparable to the earnings estimates for a company, so that you can tell if they come in over or under. So, for some companies, they include only items in their main line of business, not sub lines. For example, the number for Ford only includes Auto sales, so the numbers are going to be different than the reported earnings. The estimates for Ford are based on auto sales, so the numbers that we have are comparable to the estimates. We are actually reviewing the numbers now, to see if this is the best set of numbers that we can get.

I recently created a report that included EPS from both data vendors, and I got VERY different results. Why? Which do I accept as correct? I don't know if you can give me a definitive answer, but perhaps you can point me in the right direction to figure this out. Don Lindberg
