Company
Launched in 2011, Estimize aggregates forward-looking estimates from independent, buy-side, and sell-side analysts — plus private investors and academics — for a clearer view of market expectations.
By sourcing estimates from a diverse community, Estimize provides a more accurate, more timely, and more representative view of expectations than sell-side-only data sets that suffer from well-known biases.
Currently, over 130,000 analysts contribute to Estimize, with coverage on over 3,000 stocks and 85 economic indicators each quarter. The Estimize consensus has proven more accurate than comparable sell-side data sets over 70% of the time and by about 15% on average.
Contributors receive free access to view our data in return for honest, pseudonymous contributions. We manage quality with machine-learning models, statistical methods, and human review — then score and rank analysts so they can benchmark their accuracy over time.
Institutional clients can purchase data via the web platform, API, and FTP without contributing. Clients include systematic quant managers, fundamental and quantamental teams, sell-side desks, and macro / vol traders. To trial the API or receive historical testing files, request access here.
Estimize data is regularly referenced by Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, CNN Money, The Street, Forbes, Barron’s, Investor’s Business Daily, BusinessWeek, and others. Journalists and media platforms looking for access or integration should contact us.
