Questions about analyst projections


I often hear in the news, “X company increased their revenue by Y dollars, but still fell short of analyst projections. As a result X company stock fell to Z dollars per share…”. Why does this happen? The tone of the news always seems to look poorly on the company in question rather than the analyst who did the projection even though the company made money. Do analyst ever get called out for making incorrect projections?
