Definition

A currency amount which fund managers and others in the investment management business talk about for a particular company's key statistics (like its profit) before they are announced. For example, when a large blue chip institutional company is about to publish its earnings figure, before the trading statement is made, analysts will have a number which they are talking about and which they think is most likely - that is the whisper number.
