Earnings forecast

An earnings forecast is an estimate made by financial analysts or a company's management about how much profit the company is expected to make in the future, typically for the upcoming quarter or year. It helps investors and stakeholders understand the company's potential performance, guiding investment decisions. These forecasts are based on factors like sales trends, expenses, market conditions, and the company's past performance. While they are projections and not guaranteed outcomes, they provide valuable insight into the company's expected financial health.
