Research Webinar | I/B/E/S Unpacked | August 20, 2026

I/B/E/S is one of the most widely used sources for analyst expectations in empirical finance and accounting research. Yet important questions about data provenance, coverage, historical revisions, identifiers, and consensus construction can have significant implications for research design and reproducibility.

In this upcoming WRDS Research Data Webinar Series, I/B/E/S experts will join us for a Q&A-style session on how the data are constructed, maintained, and updated鈥攁nd what researchers should know before building empirical studies around them.

This session is ideal for:

  • PhD students developing research projects using analyst data
  • Early-career faculty working with forecasts, recommendations, price targets, or actuals
  • Experienced I/B/E/S users who have encountered unexpected changes, missing observations, or differences across files and vintages
