Before each earnings release, Bouygues collects and releases formally all the forecasts of the sell-side analysts in charge of the stock coverage.
This approach aims at providing to the market a consensus as reliable and as representative as possible.
This consensus is published on Bouygues’ website 6 days trading before the release, so that any interested person (investors, analysts, shareholders, journalists) could have access to it at the same time.
The following data are collected:
- Group sales
- Group EBITDA
- Group operating profit
- Group net profit (attributable to the Group)
Process
All the analysts’ estimates are sent to the group by email. The average, the median, the maximum and the minimum of the sample are published.
All the analysts’ contributions are anonymous and no commentary is given by the Group, in compliance with the stock-market regulation.
2008 annual earnings will be published on Tuesday 3 March 2009. |
