If a company's board knows that they are going to miss the target then why Why don't they plan accordinglyboards of directors try to produce results in line with estimates?

I see thatThe biggest one day change happen-day changes in any company's stock prices isprice seem to happen when they post thequarterly results for that Quarter.

If they beat the expectation, stocks will go up and if they fail to meet the expectation, they basically go down "Very very drastically"

If the results beat expectations then the stock price will go up, and if they do not then the stock price basically goes down very very drastically.

My question is thatSince all these analysts have put the expected EPS values out there for every oneeveryone to see "including-- including a company's board of directors"directors -- why doesn't the board

Why doesn't board of directors roll out a(a) release quarterly results that isare expectation friendly OR-friendly, or

(b) if they know that they are going to miss the results, then let thetell analysts know that they need to revise thetheir expectations so that there are no HUGEhuge surprises on the day of results.?
