Allstate has a confirmed Nov. 4 release and a recent +4.61% upward revision to quarterly EPS estimates, with consensus revenue implying 4.9% year-over-year growth. That creates a plausible but not clean surprise setup: consensus EPS still implies a steep year-over-year decline, the latest close was weak within its daily range, and no qualifying very recent volume surge was verified.

MetLife has a company-confirmed Nov. 4 report and third-party sources provide EPS and revenue consensus, but the checked sources did not establish positive estimate revisions, revenue upside revisions, or a qualifying recent price/volume setup. A pre-event preview also flags sensitivity to private-equity performance, leaving the surprise case too uncertain for this screen.

Aflac has a confirmed Nov. 4 report and consensus estimates, but the checked estimate history showed revenue revisions down 2.0% over three months and only marginally positive next-quarter EPS revisions; recent tape and volume signals were not established. A prior EPS miss and weak beat history further reduce the case for an underestimated upside surprise.

The checked sources give Q3 EPS consensus around $0.73–$0.74 and revenue consensus around $1.78B, while the prior quarter beat EPS consensus and management had issued a Q3 EPS range. No positive estimate-revision/whisper or revenue-upside signal, nor the required recent tape signals, was verified; the result is a thin-data reject rather than an investable setup.

The supplied calendar lists Nov. 4, but checked third-party sources disagree on the date and estimates; there is no substantiated positive EPS revision, revenue upside, or pre-event tape evidence to support a surprise setup.

MELI's Q2 primary-source results show strong commerce and fintech activity, and Oct 26 traded at unusually high volume with a close near the session high. However, the checked estimate source reports a 0.62% downward 30-day EPS revision; price fell sharply into Oct 26 and remains well below Oct 23, so the tape fails the required strength test despite the high-volume rebound.

Initial coverage reported an after-hours rise of nearly 7% following the October 15 release, but that is not evidence the move held. The packet's $68.98 anchor is up about 3.8% from the prior close. Earnings-surprise estimates conflict across sources, and verified analyst revisions are unavailable; zero values in optional sentiment fields indicate unavailable data, not neutral readings.

T+3 evidence is mixed rather than decisively bullish: Citi beat the cited Q3 revenue and EPS estimates and raised its return outlook, but the stock fell about 3.4% intraday on October 13 and several post-print targets were cut. Benzinga reported $123.20 trading on October 14, broadly consistent with the packet's $123.21 October 15 anchor; the initial sell-the-news move had not meaningfully reversed. The Goldman note attributed weakness mainly to positioning, while other coverage focused on sequential softness. Social, options-skew, short-interest and employee-score data were unavailable; their zero placeholders above are not measured readings.

Initial coverage linked the earnings beat to a 2.77% premarket gain, but the packet's October 15 closing anchor is $65.37; the initial reaction should not be assumed to have held. News tone is positive on the beat but mixed on precast and fiscal Q1 segment guidance. No reliable post-print analyst target or estimate revisions were found at this T+1 check; social and options signals were unavailable.

Mixed-to-negative immediately after earnings: trusted [AP coverage](https://apnews.com/article/a2edaf9ec297fb75ff2a4e245063ec08) reports a 3.1% October 13 share decline tied to weaker-than-expected revenue despite a profit beat. The October 15 RankAlpha anchor is $82.75, but the packet does not establish whether the initial reaction fully held or reversed. Post-print target cuts are available, though a comprehensive forward-estimate revision series is not. The pre-print $1.85 EPS and $22.15 billion revenue estimates come from a third-party article stored as an earnings document, not an official company release. Social, options, short-interest and employee metrics are unavailable; zero values above are placeholders, not measured readings.

The SEC-filed earnings release confirms stronger Q2 adjusted results and raised guidance, but the market response was mixed: AZZ gained 0.7% on October 14, then fell 5.1% on October 15 to the $130.59 anchor. Four reported post-print analyst target changes include one cut and three increases; broader forward earnings-estimate revisions remain unavailable. The zero-valued social, options, short-interest, employee and news-sentiment fields denote unavailable measurements, not neutral readings. The deterministic prior shifted from positive to neutral, so this T+3 update remains a monitoring view.

The initial October 13 close was $377.76, down 0.2% on the day; shares then closed at $395.62 on October 14 and $406.67 on October 15, about 7.4% above the pre-release October 12 close. The rebound occurred alongside broader healthcare buying, so it should not be attributed solely to earnings. Post-print target revisions were mixed, and a dependable aggregate estimate-revision series is unavailable. Social, options, short-interest and employee readings were not supplied; zero sentiment fields denote unavailable data, not neutral readings. https://chartexchange.com/symbol/nyse-unh/historical/ https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UNH/price-targets
