3Level of Agreement Among Analysts. This provides a quick read on how much or how little analysts are in accord on a particular estimate. A very high level of agreement means that all the estimates for a given time period (e.g., the current fiscal year) are quite similar. A very low level of agreement means just the opposite. Note that a lack of a consensus by analysts may flag the possibility of a big earnings surprise-either positive or negative. We calculate the level of agreement by comparing the amount of dispersion around the mean estimate for all companies with three or more analyst forecasts for a specific fiscal period.
