Track Record
SampleSpoken Alpha tracks FAST's historical accountability: how often management beat consensus, how the stock reacted, and how guidance evolved across the cycle. The figures below are illustrative placeholder data generated for layout — they will be replaced with real deviation metrics, True Consensus values, and EODHD price reactions as those data layers land.
Beats consensus 10/10 quarters but stock falls 80% of the time
SampleWhen a company consistently beats but the stock doesn't react, consensus is usually set too low or the buy-side number is materially above sell-side. Watch for guidance walk-downs ahead of the print.
Raised guidance 8 quarters in a row
SampleConsecutive raises tighten the bar quarter over quarter. Watch the most recent print for the magnitude of the beat — a smaller beat against a higher bar is the early signal that the regime is breaking.
