Earnings Calendar: Company Results, EPS Estimates and Dates

An earnings calendar shows when listed companies publish their financial results, along with expected and reported earnings per share (EPS). The table covers US names, including Nasdaq-listed technology groups, and Indian companies that announce quarterly results after a board meeting. Traders use it to see which stocks face an earnings-related gap and which sectors have several reports due in the same week.

Earnings dates come from company announcements and exchange filings, while estimates reflect analyst consensus and can change before the report. The page updates daily, and actual EPS is added once the company publishes. It suits stock, CFD and options traders as well as long-term investors who want to avoid surprises during earnings season, across the markets they follow.

How to use?

Compare EPS estimate with actual

EPS measures earnings attributable to each share. The table shows the analyst estimate before the report and the actual figure after it. If the estimate is 2.00 and the company reports 2.20, that is a 10% beat; a figure below the estimate is a miss. The difference from expectations often matters more than the reported number alone. A beat on EPS with a miss on revenue sends a mixed message.

Check the report timing

US companies usually report before the market opens or after it closes, and the table marks the slot as pre-market or after hours. The price may react in extended-hours trading or at the next regular open. Indian companies announce a board meeting date first, and the results follow at that meeting. Check the slot so you know when your position will be exposed. After the close, a stop order cannot protect you from an overnight gap.

Use filters for this week

Switch to the earnings calendar this week view to see seven days of results, then filter by exchange. A Nasdaq earnings calendar view shows technology and growth names, while an NSE or BSE filter shows Indian quarterly results. Sort by date to see clusters: when several large companies in one sector report together, the whole sector can move. Widen the date range during peak reporting weeks and narrow it when the calendar is less crowded.

Look beyond EPS to guidance

For many stocks, guidance—the company's outlook for future quarters—matters more than the results just reported. Revenue growth, margins and comments from management can also change the reaction. A company can beat the EPS estimate and still fall if guidance is weak. Read the result in the news after the release and compare it with what the market had priced in.

Study past reactions before the date

Open the history of a stock to see how it moved after earlier reports. Some names often gap by several percent, others barely react. Note the direction and size of the last four reports, then compare with the move that options imply. If the stock has a history of sharp post-earnings moves, factor that risk into position size. Past reactions give context, but they do not predict the next one.

Match fiscal quarters with dates

Most Indian listed companies follow an April-to-March financial year, so Q1 covers April to June and results arrive from July. Listed Indian companies must publish quarterly results within 45 days of quarter end, and annual results within 60 days. Some US companies also use fiscal years that differ from the calendar year, so read the quarter label in the table before comparing two reports.

What This Gives Traders

Earnings reports are scheduled events that can trigger volatility, making their timing a risk you can prepare for. Check the calendar on Sunday, note which stocks on your watchlist report that week, and decide whether to hold through the report, reduce size or wait for the reaction. Options and CFD positions need extra care because prices can gap past a stop order and fill far from the level you set.

Pair this page with the dividend calendar, since boards often declare payouts together with results, and use the calculators to size a position so a gap stays within your limit. The calendar tells you when results are expected, not how the market will respond.

FAQ

What is an earnings calendar used for?

It tells you which companies report results on which day, so you can prepare for the price swings that often follow. Investors use it to review holdings before a report, and traders use it to find stocks with scheduled volatility. It also helps you avoid holding a position through a report unintentionally.

What is earnings season and when does it start?

Earnings season is the weeks when most listed companies report results for the latest quarter. In the US it starts about two weeks after each quarter ends, often led by large banks. In India, Q1 results arrive from July, Q2 from October, Q3 from January and Q4 from April.

Why does a stock fall after good results?

The price already contains expectations, so good news can be too small. Weak guidance, slower revenue growth or higher costs can outweigh an earnings beat, and traders who bought before the report may sell the news. The broader market can also influence the stock's move that day.

What do pre-market and after hours mean on the calendar?

Pre-market means the company reports before the regular session opens, often early in the morning New York time. After hours means it reports after the close. The price can move in extended trading at once, and the move often carries into the next open. Check that your broker offers extended hours trading.

Where can I find a quarterly results calendar for Indian stocks?

Use the NSE or BSE filter on this page to see Indian companies with a board meeting date for results. Companies must inform the exchanges before the meeting, so dates appear at least a few days ahead. If a date is missing, check the exchange announcements or the company's investor page, because some small companies report close to the deadline.

Are earnings dates confirmed?

Not always. Large companies confirm dates weeks ahead, but some dates are estimates based on last year's schedule until the company announces them. Treat an unconfirmed date as approximate and check the investor relations page or exchange notice. Dates can change, so check the calendar again as the report approaches.
