Does anyone know of a reasonably priced source of historical earnings that include: Stock Symbol Release Date Consensus Estimate EPS Actual EPS And it goes back 10+ years? I've looked at scraping some sites like briefing.com (no estimates for historical), yahoo (only go back 1 year), and a few others, but not much luck yet. I haven't delved too deeply into paid services yet.
Free: http://earnings.com/highlight.asp?client=cb Sponsored by Thomson Reuters, they also have pay services
Unfortunately, they only go back 90 days. Do you have any info on their paid services? I sent an e-mail, but have no response yet.
OK, I had been looking at the daily calendars, and you can only get a calendar of all stocks for the past 90 days. I did look at C per your recommendation. While the list goes back to 99, after April 05, the estimate data is all "n/a". Not as far back as I'd like, but better than anything else I've found, so thank you for that!
You could call http://www.starmine.com/ -- as I recall, they offer a relatively cheap Web-based product.
I'm too looking for earnings history, but only the dates of earnings releases. I tried that earnings.com place, it looks promising, but I don't see how one can scrape their screen, the dates are mixed with a lot of other stuff. Have you tried to parse it? Any suggestions would be appreciated. BTW, that other site - starmine.com - now is a part of Thomson as well.
You can probably just use excel data features to open it in excel, then do a macro to to run thru the date column and pull the crap out of the dates.
