New Features: Consensus comparison & faster earnings analysis

Jan 3, 2025

New Primer features automate consensus comparison and deliver rapid earnings call analysis.

We're excited to announce two powerful new features that enhance an analyst's ability to extract value from company reporting. These updates represent another significant step in our mission to empower financial professionals with AI that delivers genuine analytical value.

What's new?

Instant consensus comparison

Understanding performance versus market expectations is fundamental to earnings analysis. Yet traditionally, analysts spend considerable time consolidating consensus figures and calculating variances - valuable time that could be spent on deeper analysis.

Our new 'Versus Consensus' feature changes this completely. Within moments of results being announced, Primer now:

  • Automatically aggregates consensus expectations from leading brokers and banks

  • Calculates precise variances between actual results and market expectations

  • Highlights significant beats and misses across all key metrics

This means you can instantly understand how results stack up against market expectations and focus your time on what really matters - understanding the implications of these variances for your investment thesis.

Real-time earnings call analysis

We've always pushed to deliver earnings call analysis faster than traditional methods, but now we're taking another leap forward. Our enhanced earnings call analysis now delivers 'Briefings' within minutes of call completion - a new benchmark for speed in financial analysis.

This upgraded system allows you to:

  • Receive comprehensive earnings call analysis immediately after earnings

  • Skip the hour-long calls without missing crucial insights

  • Focus on strategic decisions, not note-taking

As with our filings analysis, this isn't just about speed - it's about depth.

Primer not only provides analysis fast, but also ensures high levels of depth and sophistication, integrating contextual analysis of a company's reporting history to highlight any subtle changes in management tone or guidance that might be missed in a traditional analysis process.

Start transforming your research today

By automating these crucial but time-consuming tasks, we're enabling a new standard in financial analysis - one where technology enhances rather than replaces human insight.
