It's finally here! The market trades on consensus, but now for the first time, the consensus numbers are broader and more robust than the traditional EPS and Revenue estimates.

Each sector and industry within it measures performance on key performance metrics that before now were not being aggregated or analyzed in a meaningful way. All that has changed. With the support and participation of contributing analysts from bulge bracket firms, top-rated independent research firms, and prestigious institutional research firms, Consensus Metrix has already established itself as a leading authority on consensus figures in the Restaurant Industry.

Imagine up to 100 operational and financial data points for each of the 50 companies in the Restaurant industry with analyst coverage . Where as EPS and Revenue estimates gave you a virtual X-ray of a company, Consensus Metrix offers you an MRI.

The Restaurant module is the first product to be released in Fall 2011, and will be followed by releases of products for other underserved industries in the consumer sector.
