Answer 1

You can get a regular subscription to your research / broker (bulge bracket) in order to get corporate valuations and price estimates. Getting them free online will not give you the most robust analysis available.

To answer your question, analysts use different valuation models like discounted cash flow, earnings multiples, book value ratios, etc.

Answer 2

Although earnings are very important, the stock does not necessarily go up if they beat estimates...More importantly,The stock moves up or down on the future quarter/yearly guidance..."What is happening in the company's future business trends"...so the predictive abilitys of the current earnings report are mute in short/mid term

Answer 3

Try this site. Or go to Yahoo finance, type in a stock symbol and click on analysts estimates.
