Q1 Earnings Beat Rate

So far this earnings season, 324 companies have released their quarterly numbers.  Of those 324 companies, 234 beat earnings per share estimates, putting the current EPS beat rate for the quarter at 72.2%.  As shown below, this is at the top of the range of quarterly beat rates over the last 10 years.  It's important to note that the beat rate over the past couple of earnings seasons has started out high and trickled lower to settle in just below 70%.  Over the past three earnings seasons, the beat rate has ended up right at 68%.  There are still a few weeks left to the current earnings season, but for now, things look strong.

It would be great to see the S&P 500 overlayed on that chart. ;)

Hmmm. The expected beat rate if analysts were neutral should be 50% over the long haul. From eyeballing the table, it looks like the beat rate is over 50% just about (let me calculate...) ALWAYS. What are the odds?
