Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Both platforms utilize identical resolution criteria, sources, and timing mechanisms, ensuring consistent market behavior.Primary resolution logic: WD-40's official earnings documents, with SeekingAlpha as a backup if official documents do not contain GAAP EPS.

Core resolution logic:

The market resolves to 'Yes' if WD-40 reports GAAP EPS greater than $1.16.
The market resolves to 'No' if WD-40 reports GAAP EPS equal to or less than $1.16.
If no GAAP EPS is reported, SeekingAlpha's reported GAAP EPS will be used.
If no GAAP EPS is available within 96 hours of market close on the earnings announcement day, the market resolves to 'No'.
If WD-40 does not release earnings within 45 calendar days of the estimated earnings date (October 21, 2026), the market resolves to 'No'.

Edge cases & clarifications:

No Earnings Release: If WD-40 fails to release earnings within 45 calendar days of the estimated date, the market resolves to 'No'.
GAAP EPS Not Available: If WD-40 releases earnings without a GAAP EPS figure, the market will resolve based on the GAAP EPS reported by SeekingAlpha. If SeekingAlpha does not publish a GAAP EPS within 96 hours of market close, the market resolves to 'No'.
Restatements: Subsequent restatements will not affect resolution unless they are for obvious and immediate errors (e.g., 'fat finger' mistakes).

Timing: Resolution will occur after WD-40 releases its quarterly earnings report, with a maximum of 96 hours to determine the GAAP EPS if it is not immediately available.Our PredictionHero Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA) are there to help users identify potential differences across platforms.
