I have a stock, NATR, that had an earnings call yesterday. Will that say that if I run a screen on the stock today, the last numbers from that earnings call are part of the numbers in today's stock score? https://www.portfolio123.com/app/stock?tab=timeline&t=NATR:USA

The Snapshot page has a Filings section. It shows the latest data we have for NATR is for the period ending 12/31/23 which was announced yesterday 3/12/24. The 'Final' column shows 'No' which tells you this data is from a preliminary announcement and not the final filing which will be filed with the SEC.
You could run the code below in the screener to see that the data has changed:
ticker("NATR")
@a:ActualQ(#EPS) //today
@a0:FHist("ActualQ(#EPS)",0) //as of last weekend
@s:salesq //today
@s0:FHist("SalesQ",0) //as of last weekend
showvar(@CompleteStmt,CompleteStmt)
The screener has a 'PIT Method - Prelim' setting. If you set it to 'Use' then the screen results will contain this new prelim data. If you set it to 'Exclude' then you will not see the new value for SalesQ.

I have never actually been conscious about this feature, it is set on "use," but what do other members usually do?
