For all the years that I've been publishing the Arezi Ratio, I have used a spreadsheet that is updated weekly on the S&P web site which shows the aggregate EPS of all the S&P500 companies. The spreadsheet shows the "as reported" EPS by quarter, looking back historically and also the forecast EPS by quarter for the coming year. The spreadsheet has been updated each week by Howard Greenblatt, as companies released new quarterly earning reports and as forecasts were updated. Howard has just announced that he is leaving S&P and the spreadsheet will be discontinued.
I'd like to continue publishing the Arezi Ratio, and I'll need a new data source to do that. Does anyone have any ideas?
As noted, I'm looking for quarterly EPS data for the aggregate of all S&P500 companies. The data I've used are "as reported", i.e. as they are on the financial statements, as opposed to operating earning or other figures that might exclude irregular items. And ideally figures that are updated weekly as reports are released.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
