StreetInsider.com provides extended earnings data going back to 2010: date, EPS, EPS estimate, EPS surprise. Each dividend item comes with these extra details attached:
CompanyName, EPSEstimate, EPSSurprise.
They are available in two forms:
- In a popup when mousing over an [si] eps item on a stock chart
- In WealthScript Strategoes via the GetDetail or FormatValue methods:
Make sure you've collected the fundamental data before running this Strategy (Data Manager > "Update Data" tab > check
"StreetInsider earnings releases" > go to "DataSets" tab > click "Update DataSet").

Issues and limitations
- As of May 2018, StreetInsider introduced a protection against bulk capture of the data so you're unlikely to get the data for 2-4 symbols before being suspended.
