Earnings Whispers(@eWhispers):$MSFT guided earnings to $4.63 to $4.78 per share. The consensus estimate was EXACTLY in the middle at $4.71 per share, according to Bloomberg, FactSet, etc. Only the dumb money expected them to report anything within that guidance range. There is a reason there is no statistical benefit to beating the consensus estimate, and stocks trade lower after missing the Earnings Whisper.
