Overview

Earnings Preview is an agent skill from the Finance Skills collection. Give it a stock ticker or company name and it pulls Yahoo Finance data through the yfinance package to build a briefing: the report date, consensus earnings and revenue estimates, the last four quarters of beats and misses, analyst ratings and price targets, and what to watch. It suits people who follow stocks and want the setup in one place before a report. It is for research and education, not financial advice.

It gathers estimates, track record and analyst views that are usually spread over several finance pages into one briefing, with no account or API key.

Try these first

Start with the first one: it is a small task you can check easily.

Good to know

A company you follow reports next week and you want to know what the market expects. The skill fetches Yahoo Finance data and writes a briefing with the date, consensus estimates, beat and miss history and analyst sentiment.

Limits

  • It relies on yfinance, which is not affiliated with Yahoo; consensus figures can lag real-time providers by a few hours. The briefing is research, not financial advice.
  • The agent runs Python and installs the yfinance package with pip if it is missing.
