Surprises refer to the difference between a company's actual reported figures (such as revenue, EPS, net income, and EBIT) and the consensus estimates (predictions) from analysts.

   


Trendlyne’s Surprises section displays this difference as a percentage, that is, Surprise %. A positive Surprise % indicates the company beats estimates, while a negative Surprise % means it has fallen short of expectations.


This section also offers insights into whether the company has met or missed analyst estimates for key metrics such as revenue, EPS, net income, EBIT, and more.

Surprises allow investors to assess how a stock's actual performance compares to market expectations. Additionally, you can track the Surprise % for previous quarters and years to evaluate the company's performance over time.
