# Bigdata Earnings Preview

Part of the **Bigdata.com** plugin.

A focused skill that produces an institutional-quality, forward-looking
**earnings preview** for a public company ahead of its next earnings
call — powered by **Bigdata.com MCP**.

---

## What It Produces

A cited, decision-ready preview containing:

- **EPIC driver table** — the 2–3 factors that actually matter this print,
  with material / forecastable / consensus-blind-spot / consensus-gap tests
- **Earnings quality quick screen** — OCF/NI, DSO, GAAP vs non-GAAP, each
  with a forward "watch for" note
- **Consensus estimates and recent performance context**
- **Sentiment & positioning table** — quantified sentiment, options,
  short interest, 13F changes, insider transactions, sell-side posture
- **Recent developments** including legal and regulatory items
- **Industry trends and sector dynamics**
- **What's priced in** plus a valuation cross-check vs history and peers
- **Variant perception (FaVeS)** — fundamentals, valuation, sentiment
- **Bull and bear cases** tied to specific consensus line items
- **Scenario analysis** — bull/base/bear with probabilities and a
  probability-weighted expected value, math shown
- **Key metrics to watch** and management guidance focus areas
- **Sources** with inline citations, plus the standard Bigdata.com footer
  and disclaimer

## Usage

Ask in natural language, for example:

    Create an earnings preview for NVIDIA
    Preview Alphabet's next quarter
    What should I watch when Apple reports?

Or, within the plugin, via the namespaced command:

    /bigdata-com:earnings-preview NVIDIA
