{wiki=Consensus_estimate}
A consensus estimate is a collective forecast or opinion formed by aggregating estimates or predictions from multiple analysts, experts, or financial institutions regarding a specific financial metric, such as earnings per share (EPS), revenue, or growth rates of a company or industry. In the context of financial markets, consensus estimates are commonly used to gauge investor expectations for a company's upcoming earnings report or other key performance indicators. These estimates can provide a benchmark against which actual results are compared.
