EPS — Us vs Consensus

The "where we differ" chart for any thesis built on an above-the-street estimate.

What this chart shows

Two lines on the same scale: your forward NTM EPS estimate (solid green) and consensus (dashed muted). The gap between them IS the thesis — visible at a glance, scaled in dollars per share.

When to use

• "Above-the-street" sections — pair with prose explaining WHY the gap exists
• Track-record sections — pair with a stat showing how many of the last N quarters you beat consensus
• NOT for: retail-only infographics where the EPS number itself is too detailed; use a vivid device summary instead

How agents use this

data = {
  periods: ["Q3 24", "Q4 24", "Q1 25", "Q2 25", "Q3 25", "Q4 25", "Q1 26", "Q2 26"],
  us:        [6.45, 6.62, 6.78, 6.92, 7.05, 7.18, 7.32, 7.45],
  consensus: [6.32, 6.45, 6.58, 6.71, 6.83, 6.95, 7.10, 7.22]
}

Visual register
