Definition Whisper Number. Description.
A Whisper Number is an unofficial corporate earnings
estimate that is "whispered" amongst security analysts, and their main clients.
Corporations are not allowed to selectively disclose material information
to institutional investors
or other important investors.
If earnings per share are below
the whisper number, but above the consensus official analysts estimate, this
may result in disappointment and in a price decrease.
Although these mysterious numbers have proved a useful indication
of corporate results in many occasions, investors are wise to watch out for
potential manipulation by scrupulous people and verify what is whispered with
fundamental analysis and
technical analysis.
