What does the earnings calendar include?

Each row is one company's earnings report: the date, the session timing, the fiscal quarter, whether the date is confirmed, and the consensus estimates for earnings per share (EPS) and revenue. Once the company reports and we process the results, the row also shows the reported EPS and revenue where we have them, and the surprise against the estimate where it can be calculated.

Common questions

• Confirmed or estimated. A confirmed date comes from the company. An unconfirmed date is projected and can move.
• Timing. Before the open, after the close, during market hours, or unknown. Timing is researched for the current and next week but can remain unknown. Dates further out usually show unknown until the timing is announced.
• Why past dates appear. The calendar starts on Monday of the current week, Eastern time, so reports from earlier in the week stay visible with their results.
• Reported and surprise. These stay empty until the company reports. The surprise is left empty when the estimate is zero or missing.
• Adjusted or GAAP. Reported EPS can be the company's adjusted figure or the GAAP figure, the one under standard accounting rules. We label which it is when we can tell; otherwise the label is unknown or missing.
• A company that is missing. We cover the most-watched US stocks. A company with no report scheduled in the window has no row.
