New evidence on where predictive value is shifting.

Recent years have shown a meaningful shift in how information is reflected in equity markets. While investors and quantitative models have traditionally focused on current-quarter estimates, our latest research suggests that out-quarter earnings revisions and forecasts have become increasingly valuable signals.

**In this research note, we examine:**

• The SEC's proposal to reduce quarterly reporting requirements

• Long-term trends in corporate guidance behavior

• The changing efficacy of FQ1 versus out-quarter estimate revisions

• Why longer-horizon forecasts may improve earnings-based alpha models

The SEC proposal provided the catalyst. Our research examines whether the market has already begun rewarding longer-horizon expectations. Source: Polymarket (July 2026). Chart shown for context.

The findings suggest that models relying solely on current-quarter revisions may be overlooking valuable information embedded in longer-dated expectations.
