Track Record
SampleSpoken Alpha tracks HQI'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 with 60% positive reaction rate
SampleConsistent execution against consensus with the stock following through is the cleanest signal a guidance regime is calibrated. Worth watching for the inflection where execution deteriorates relative to the bar.
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.
