DoorDash up \~14% after earnings, Uber up as well feels like a pattern across a lot of names this season. It got me thinking: how are estimates actually set if so many companies are consistently beating them quarter after quarter? Are analysts just guiding expectations lower, or is there something structural going on with how companies report vs. forecast?
Everything has been popping in the last 2 month . Curious what others think are “beats” still meaningful, or has the bar just been set in a way that makes upside reactions more likely?
