Did its newest year beat what its own record pointed to?
SI estimate 5.2/10, confidence 20 of 100 (family median).
SI estimate Inferred, not read as filed
From the record
SI estimate, not a filed reading: Distribution Solutions Group, Inc.'s expectations vs reality is put at 5.2 of 10 with a confidence of 20 of 100, because the record does not carry four filed years of revenue and two of the three parts: revenue against the prior pace, earnings against the prior average, the margin change, so the desk assumes the typical reading of its industry family, the median of 46 members with one. Its next annual report on file with the inputs replaces this estimate with the filed reading.
