Wall Street consensus pegs S&P 500 fourth-quarter EPS growth at 7% year-over-year, but here's the thing—analysts tend to undershoot their numbers every cycle. This quarter will likely be no exception. The actual numbers could surprise to the upside once we get the full reporting season underway.

Here we go again? Analysts always push the numbers down, then surprises appear. This time, there's probably not much new tricks either.

You're standing someone up again, huh? Analysts have been playing this game year after year.

Haha, coming back with the same routine, analysts always underestimate, and this time is no exception.

Ha, coming up with this again? The analyst underestimating the numbers joke happens every year. Just wait and see.

The analyst is again making conservative estimates. I don't think the 7% figure looks great, and it might need to be significantly adjusted upward later.
