English term or phrase: First Call consensus estimate
Statement about the financial results of a mining company. The sentence reads; "based upon current estimates about...earnings, we are comfortable with the current First Call consensus estimates ...for xx's net earnings per common share..."

What bothers me here is the 'first call' -- excuse me, the 'First Call'

Thanks for any help!
