How to read the calendar

Before open (BMO): The company reports before the US market opens.
After close (AMC): The company reports after the session closes.
EPS estimate: Analysts' consensus earnings per share for the quarter.
EPS actual: The earnings per share actually reported.
Surprise: The percentage difference between actual and estimate — above or below.

Good to know

EPS and revenue estimates are an analyst consensus — an average of expectations, not a guarantee.
Report dates and times can change or stay unconfirmed until close to the event.

What an earnings calendar is

An earnings calendar shows when listed companies publish their quarterly results — earnings per share (EPS) and revenue — versus analyst estimates. Here we track major US companies from the S&P 500, Dow Jones and Nasdaq 100.

Why earnings matter for investors

Quarterly results and surprises versus estimates can move a stock price significantly. Knowing report dates helps with planning and risk management.

How to use this calendar

Switch between this week and next week, track the report timing (before open or after close), and compare actual EPS with the estimate to see the surprise.
