How reliable are GGG's EPS forecasts historically?

Graco's (GGG) EPS forecasts have shown a slight discrepancy between the estimated and actual EPS values. The estimated EPS for Q3 2024 was $0.76, while the actual EPS was $0.64. This indicates that the estimated EPS was slightly overestimated, with an error of $0.12.

Historically, the reliability of EPS forecasts can be assessed by comparing the estimated values with the actual values.
