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%.
