Earnings report calendar – A simple explanation

While we have an earnings estimates giving us an idea as to what a company may be making over the next quarter or year, the releases the actual numbers that the company reports publicly. The shows just how well the company did, be a profit or loss and as to whether or not they have come close to estimations. Obviously, this can have a massive effect on how a company trades and the price of that stock.

There are several different places to go to find the releases, but one of the most convenient ways is to go to Morning Star. This website offers releases for every company during a specific day, and you can even look at the estimate, actual number, and etc. to see what’s going on in that particular operation.

With this, gives us the time of the release, the transcript if there’s a link to it, the Wall Street earnings-per-share estimate, and the actual earnings-per-share release. Because of this, you can see very quickly as to whether or not the stock made the numbers that were anticipated. If they did, it more than likely will be a “nonevent” as markets will have gotten what they expected. If they do not, it’s likely that the stock will fall as the price of the share may be overvalued. On the other hand, if they beat estimates, or than likely the price of the stock continues to rise.

There are a multitude of places to find this information, but quite frankly this is one of the more convenient sites. You can also go to Yahoo finance, as well as Reuters, and Bloomberg.
