A reported year shows the company's figures, with the consensus beside it (revenue against it in %). Reported EPS is GAAP diluted; the analysts' EPS usually leaves items such as stock compensation out, so the two are not like for like. Faded: a year the valuation models do not read — they read the first 3, and a later one only while 10 or more analysts cover every year up to it — or one under 5 analysts.
