Launched in 2011, Estimize is an open financial estimates platform designed to collect forward looking financial estimates from independent, buy-side, and sell-side analysts, along with those of private investors and academics.
By sourcing estimates from a diverse community of individuals, Estimize provides a more accurate, more timely, and more representative view of expectations compared to sell side only data sets which suffer from several severe biases.

Currently, 100,000+ analysts contribute to Estimize, resulting in coverage on over 2,200 stocks and 80 economic indicators each quarter. The Estimize consensus has proven more accurate than comparable sell side data sets over 70% of the time and by 15% on average.

Contributors to the Estimize platform receive free access to view our data in return for their honest pseudonymous contributions. Estimize manages the honesty and quality of contributions via several machine learning algos and behavioral models, along with a human layer of review (human brains are still useful!). Estimize scores and ranks analysts, providing them with an easy way to store, benchmark, and measure their own accuracy.

Estimize represents the market’s true consensus, with our data regularly referenced in notable financial media sources such as Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, CNN Money, The Street, Forbes, Barron’s, Investors Business Daily and Business Week, amongst others.

Our clients include institutional managers running fully systematic quantitative strategies, fundamental managers running quantamental, long/short, and long only strategies, as well as macro investors and vol traders. Our data sets and factor models can be purchased via our real time API/FTP, or our front end platform which includes advanced analytics, screening tools, and emails.

In 2021, Estimize merged with alternative data provider ExtractAlpha.
