Workflow

工作流程

Step 1: Gather Context

步骤1：收集背景信息

  • Identify the company and reporting quarter
  • Pull consensus estimates via web search (revenue, EPS, key segment metrics)
  • Find the earnings date and time (pre-market vs. after-hours)
  • Review the company's prior quarter earnings call for any guidance or commentary
  • 确定目标公司及报告季度
  • 通过网络搜索获取市场一致预期（营收、EPS、关键细分业务指标）
  • 查找财报发布日期和时间（盘前 vs. 盘后）
  • 回顾公司上一季度的财报电话会议内容，获取相关指引或评论

Step 2: Key Metrics Framework

步骤2：关键指标框架

Build a "what to watch" framework specific to the company:
Financial Metrics:
  • Revenue vs. consensus (total and by segment)
  • EPS vs. consensus
  • Margins (gross, operating, net) — expanding or contracting?
  • Free cash flow
  • Forward guidance vs. consensus
Operational Metrics (sector-specific):
  • Tech/SaaS: ARR, net retention, RPO, customer count
  • Retail: Same-store sales, traffic, basket size
  • Industrials: Backlog, book-to-bill, price vs. volume
  • Financials: NIM, credit quality, loan growth, fee income
  • Healthcare: Scripts, patient volumes, pipeline updates
构建针对目标公司的“需关注事项”框架：
财务指标：
  • 营收 vs. 市场一致预期（总营收及细分业务营收）
  • EPS vs. 市场一致预期
  • 利润率（毛利率、营业利润率、净利率）——是增长还是收缩？
  • 自由现金流
  • 未来指引 vs. 市场一致预期
运营指标（分行业）：
  • 科技/SaaS行业：ARR、净留存率、RPO、客户数量
  • 零售行业：同店销售额、客流量、客单价
  • 工业行业：未交付订单、订单出货比、价格 vs. 销量
  • 金融行业：NIM、信贷质量、贷款增长、手续费收入
  • 医疗行业：处方量、患者数量、管线进展

Step 3: Scenario Analysis

步骤3：场景分析

Build 3 scenarios with stock price implications:
ScenarioRevenueEPSKey DriverStock Reaction
Bull
Base
Bear
For each scenario:
  • What would need to happen operationally
  • What management commentary would signal this
  • Historical context — how has the stock moved on similar prints?
构建3种包含股价影响的场景：
场景（Scenario）营收（Revenue）EPS核心驱动因素（Key Driver）股价反应（Stock Reaction）
Bull（多头）
Base（基准）
Bear（空头）
针对每个场景：
  • 运营层面需要出现哪些情况
  • 管理层的哪些评论会预示该场景
  • 历史背景——过去出现类似情况时股价如何变动？

Step 4: Catalyst Checklist

步骤4：催化剂清单

Identify the 3-5 things that will determine the stock's reaction:
  1. [Metric] vs. [consensus/whisper number] — why it matters
  2. [Guidance item] — what the buy-side expects to hear
  3. [Narrative shift] — any strategic changes, M&A, restructuring
确定3-5个将决定股价反应的关键因素：
  1. [指标] vs. [一致预期/传闻预期] — 重要性原因
  2. [指引事项] — 买方期望听到的内容
  3. [叙事转变] — 任何战略调整、并购、重组

Step 5: Output

步骤5：输出内容

One-page earnings preview with:
  • Company, quarter, earnings date
  • Consensus estimates table
  • Key metrics to watch (ranked by importance)
  • Bull/base/bear scenario table
  • Catalyst checklist
  • Trading setup: recent stock performance, implied move from options
单页财报预览包含以下内容：
  • 公司、季度、财报发布日期
  • 市场一致预期表格
  • 需关注的关键指标（按重要性排序）
  • Bull/base/bear场景表格
  • 催化剂清单
  • 交易准备：近期股价表现、期权隐含波动幅度

Important Notes

重要提示

  • Consensus estimates change — always note the source and date of estimates
  • "Whisper numbers" from buy-side surveys are often more relevant than published consensus
  • Historical earnings reactions help calibrate expectations (search for "[company] earnings reaction history")
  • Options-implied move tells you what the market expects — compare to your scenarios
  • 市场一致预期会变动——务必注明预期的来源和日期
  • 买方调研得出的“传闻预期（Whisper numbers）”通常比公开的一致预期更具参考性
  • 历史财报反应有助于校准预期（可搜索“[company] earnings reaction history”）
  • 期权隐含波动幅度反映市场预期——将其与你的场景进行对比
