Description

This group asks whether AT&T (T) will exceed the consensus earnings per share (EPS) estimate in its next quarterly report. The markets rely on non-GAAP EPS as the primary resolution metric, with fallback mechanisms to GAAP EPS and SeekingAlpha data if non-GAAP EPS is unavailable. The estimated earnings release date is October 21, 2026, and the consensus EPS is $0.61.

PredictionHero - Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA)

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Both platforms define identical resolution criteria based on AT&T's earnings report, with the same hierarchy of data sources and a 45-day deadline for earnings release.Primary resolution logic: AT&T Official Earnings Documents, with SeekingAlpha as a secondary source.

Core resolution logic:

Resolve to 'Yes' if AT&T reports non-GAAP EPS greater than $0.61.
Resolve to 'No' if AT&T reports non-GAAP EPS less than or equal to $0.61.
If non-GAAP EPS is unavailable, use the fallback order: SeekingAlpha non-GAAP EPS, official GAAP EPS, SeekingAlpha GAAP EPS.
If no earnings are released within 45 calendar days of the estimated date, resolve to 'No'.

Edge cases & clarifications:

No Non-GAAP EPS: If AT&T does not release non-GAAP EPS, the market resolves based on SeekingAlpha's reported non-GAAP EPS, then official GAAP EPS, and finally SeekingAlpha's GAAP EPS. If no GAAP EPS is available, the market resolves to 'No'.
Earnings Release Delay: If AT&T does not release earnings within 45 calendar days of the estimated release date (October 21, 2026), the market resolves to 'No'.
Restatements: Subsequent restatements of the initially reported non-GAAP EPS will not change the resolution, except in cases of obvious and immediate errors (e.g., 'fat finger' mistakes).

Timing: The market will resolve upon the official release of AT&T’s quarterly earnings, or within 96 hours of market close on the earnings announcement day if non-GAAP EPS is initially unavailable, or after 45 days if no earnings are released.Our PredictionHero Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA) are there to help users identify potential differences across platforms.

Polymarket

As of market creation, AT&T is estimated to release earnings on October 21, 2026. The Street consensus estimate for AT&T’s non-GAAP EPS for the relevant quarter is $0.61 as of market creation. This market will resolve to "Yes" if AT&T reports non-GAAP EPS greater than $0.61 for the relevant quarter in its next quarterly earnings release. Otherwise, it will resolve to "No." The resolution source will be the non-GAAP EPS listed in the company’s official earnings documents. If AT&T releases earnings without non-GAAP EPS, then the market will resolve according to the non-GAAP EPS figure reported by SeekingAlpha. If no such figure is published within 96h of market close (4:00:00pm ET) on the day earnings are announced, the market will resolve according to the GAAP EPS listed in the company’s official earnings documents; or, if not published there, according to the GAAP EPS provided by SeekingAlpha. If no GAAP EPS number is available from either source at that time, the market will resolve to “No.” (For the purposes of this market, GAAP EPS refers to diluted GAAP EPS, unless it is not published, in which case it refers to basic GAAP EPS.) If the company does not release earnings within 45 calendar days of the estimated earnings date, this market will resolve to “No.” Note: Subsequent restatements, corrections, or revisions made to the initially announced non-GAAP EPS figure will not qualify for resolution, except in the case of obvious and immediate mistakes (e.g., fat finger errors, as with Lyft's (LYFT) earnings release in February 2024). Note: The strike prices used in these markets reflect the selected street consensus estimate for non-GAAP EPS as of market creation. Note: All figures will be rounded to the nearest cent using standard rounding. Note: For the purposes of this market, IFRS EPS will be treated as GAAP EPS. Note: If multiple versions of non-GAAP EPS are published, the market will resolve according to the primary headline non-GAAP EPS number, which is typically presented on a diluted basis. If diluted is not published, then basic non-GAAP EPS will qualify. Note: All figures are expressed in USD, unless otherwise indicated. Note: For primarily internationally listed companies, this market refers specifically to the shares traded in the United States on U.S. stock exchanges such as the NYSE or Nasdaq. In cases where the company trades in the U.S. through an American Depositary Receipt (ADR) or American Depositary Share (ADS), this market will refer to the ADR/ADS.

Prices for the AT&T earnings market can differ between Polymarket and Limitless due to variations in trading volume, user base, and market-specific rules.
