U.S. Stocks Earnings Calendar
This calendar tracks the most anticipated US earnings reports each trading day, showing the largest and most closely watched companies rather than every small listing. Pick a day to see its reports, or use Prev week and Next week to move between weeks. Reports are grouped into before market open, after market close, and time not confirmed, with the biggest companies first. The data refreshes every two hours, and the countdown next to each company shows how long until its scheduled report.
Expected = the analyst consensus estimate. Reported = the figure the company actually announced. Surprise = how far the reported figure beat or missed the estimate.
Expected EPS is the average earnings per share forecast by the Wall Street analysts who cover the company, and Expected revenue is their average forecast for the company’s total sales in the quarter. Both are captured shortly before the company reports, so you can compare them with the actual results once they are announced. Reported revenue is the company’s official total revenue for the quarter.
How Each Financial Metric Impacts a Stock
Every quarter, a public company reports its earnings. The three metrics below are the headline numbers investors react to first. What matters most is not the number itself but how it compares with Wall Street’s consensus forecast. A beat or miss relative to expectations moves the stock far more than the raw figure.
The total money a company brought in from selling its products or services during the quarter, before any costs are subtracted. Often called the “top line,” it shows whether demand for the business is growing.
Stocks rise when revenue beats expectations, especially if growth is accelerating compared with previous quarters.
Stocks fall when revenue misses, since it suggests demand is weakening and is harder to fix with cost cuts.
Mixed reaction when EPS beats but revenue misses. Investors often see this as a lower-quality beat driven by cost cutting rather than real growth.
Matters most for: growth and tech stocks, where investors pay for future expansion.
The company’s profit divided by its number of shares. It shows how much the business earned for each share an investor owns, and is usually the first number headlines report.
Stocks rise when EPS beats estimates, particularly when profit margins are expanding.
Stocks fall when EPS misses, signalling rising costs, pricing pressure, or slowing sales.
Watch for adjusted versus GAAP EPS. Companies often highlight adjusted figures that exclude one-off costs, which can make results look better.
Matters most for: mature and value stocks, where investors focus on current profitability.
Management’s forecast for revenue and earnings in the coming quarter or full year. Because stock prices are based on future expectations, guidance often moves a stock more than the results that were just reported.
Stocks rise when the company raises its outlook or guides above what analysts expected.
Stocks fall when guidance is cut or comes in below estimates, even if the current quarter was a strong beat.
Mixed reaction when guidance is maintained or vague, which markets can read as caution.
Matters most for: nearly every stock. It is frequently the biggest driver of the post-earnings move.
Stock reactions to earnings can be large and fast, often happening in after-hours trading right after the release. The initial move can reverse during the earnings call as management adds context. A company can beat on every metric and still fall if expectations were already very high, so the reaction depends on what was already priced in.
