What I'd like

An option to chart fiscal-year estimates as a rolling series: at each past date, the consensus for the fiscal year that was one (or two, or three) years ahead at that date. The 2020 point of FY1E would show the estimate for FY2021, the 2021 point the estimate for FY2022, and so on.

What happens today

The FY estimate series follow a fixed fiscal year. Today FY0E is FY2027, and every past point on that line is also the FY2027 estimate.

Example anyone can check: chart Apple's Sales estimate, FY0E, back to 2017. The line shows about $400B in late 2017. Apple's actual revenue that year was about $230B, so that point is the long-range estimate for FY2027, not the estimate for the then-current year. The line also changes retroactively each time the fiscal year rolls over.

Why it matters

A rolling series lets you see how growth expectations and forward valuations evolved, and compare what analysts expected two or three years ahead with what happened. NTM estimates already behave this way and are very useful for it, but they only look one year ahead.

Why it seems feasible

The historical estimates released in March 2026 show that consensus for already-reported periods is stored. This request is the same data, read at earlier dates.
