Your EPS Datas seem from morning star. But the data there is not accurate. Will you consider get data from Zacks?

So will you consider changing into Zacks? I see this problem has been brought out since 2013, but haven't been solved till now. EPS from Zacks are eazy to find and catch.

I do not know when or if any particular suggestion might be implemented.

Since you have already notice this big fault, why not fix it before more complain and serious problems? I have already provided you with the source data. And if you need a software to catch data from Zacks, I can also provide you. Just currently, notice your EPS data are full of flaws make me can't trust this platform.

Another alternative would be either Yahoo or Google. Yahoo has an interface which allows downloading of data into Excel, but sadly, it doesn't include Earnings Date. But perhaps that would be available to your organization, Yahoo does have one of the most accurate databases of Earnings dates I've seen.

I do value Morningstar's Sector/Industry grouping

They just don't care about your reasonable requests.

My feeling is different than yours. Like all software products, there is competition amongst different issuees/suggestions for scarce resources, and even when a solution is identified, it takes considerable time to implement and test the solution to the point it can be released.  I'm betting we'll see a solution

I partially agree with you.

But you know what, this EPS problem has been brought out since 2013. I could understand all software products would have some flaws. But a problem like this? And flaws for such a long time since 2013? They just don't want to solve problems related to fundamentals.

The dates in the Next Earnings WatchList Column have been switched from Morningstar to Zacks.

We should be adding other Zacks provided values shortly.
