StarMine Analyst Revisions Model

An overview of StarMine Analyst Revisions Model

The StarMine Analyst Revisions Model (ARM) is a security-ranking model that looks at revisions to sell-side analysts’ estimates of earnings, revenue, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), as well as changes in the buy/hold/sell recommendations of those analysts. The model incorporates more accurate earnings estimates through StarMine’s proprietary SmartEstimate earnings prediction service.

ARM is a percentile (1-100) ranking of stocks based on changes in analyst sentiment, with 100 representing the highest rank. It is highly predictive of relative price movement and is effective across stocks in each capitalization category, investment style, and market sector.
