profit forecast
Expected financial gain
A profit forecast is a company's projection of expected earnings for a coming period, typically issued to investors and analysts.
These estimates guide financial planning and set market expectations.
When actual results miss the forecast, stock prices often suffer: The company lowered its profit forecast for the quarter, sending shares down 8%.
