Guidance Raises minus Cuts · S&P 500 (net share, 90 days). Source: Palanor Guidance Ledger, built from SEC EDGAR 8-K Item 2.02 filings (Exhibit 99.1), which are public domain. Each statement is extracted by a language model into a fixed schema, then verified: its quote must appear verbatim in the filing, its numbers must appear in the quote, and its period must fit the company's fiscal calendar from XBRL. Unverified statements are excluded. A statement's direction is computed against the company's previous figure for the same metric and period, or taken from the release when it states the change. Recomputed. Derived by Palanor.
