Kicking the Guidance Habit

Frustrated, CFOs who still provide EPS forecasts eagerly await the tipping point that will spell the death of quarterly guidance.

High Time

Corporations should focus on their core business decisions, and messing around with plus or minus a few cents a share every three months adds value for no one. Analysts are well educated and well paid. They can come up with perfectly useful estimates without inside help. A company that doesn't issue guidance is more attractive to me as an investor.
