I'm looking for the company's Forward EPS data in the data library under fundamentals. Am I missing it?
The closest I see is ForwardEarningYield but it's unclear to me what value is used for the “Price Note”. If I know this I could reverse out the price note to get the forward EPS value. But maybe there's a variable I'm not seeing and I'm just over-complicating it.
Alternatively, I might be able to just use the company's forward estimated quarterly earnings - before the division of convertible shares. I don't see this variable in the data library either though.
Any advice?

Hi Jason Annable,
We recommend using the ForwardPERatio for the above:
Note that the eps estimated data is sourced from a third party.
Best,

Am I wrong or is it typical that data marked “sourced from a third party” is often found to be zero or null? That is what I am experiencing. At this point, I am assuming I should not rely on data items “sourced from a third party.”

Hi Greg
Are you referring to the datasets listed in the dataset page? Or custom source? For the former, the data piping density is written in their corresponding dataset pages, and the values are usually not zero or null. You may refer to the example tab on the sample implementation. For the later one, it really depends on the data vendor and it is out of our control.
