Track the earnings that move markets.
Four times a year, companies tell you what actually happened. Everything between those days is an estimate.
Earnings season concentrates more price movement into fewer hours than almost anything else on the calendar. A single release can reset a company's valuation, drag its sector with it, and set the tone for an index. The calendar below shows the shape of the season, who reports, roughly when, and what the market is expecting, so you can plan around it rather than be surprised by it.

How to use it
A calendar is a planning tool, not a signal.
Earnings dates tell you when uncertainty is scheduled. What you do with that information is a risk decision before it is a trading one.
- Check the date and the timing
- Before or after the market close changes everything. A post-close release means the price you see at 20:00 is not the price you will see at the open.
- Read the estimate as a bar, not a forecast
- The EPS estimate is the consensus the market has already priced. Reaction depends on the distance from that bar, and on guidance, which no estimate captures.
- Expect wider spreads and gaps
- Liquidity thins around releases. Spreads widen, and prices can gap through a stop level rather than trading at it.
- Size the position for the event
- If you intend to hold through a release, assume the move will be larger than usual and reduce exposure accordingly, or stand aside.
- Watch the sector, not only the name
- A bellwether result reprices its peers within minutes. Positions you did not think were exposed to the release often are.
- Verify against the source
- Companies confirm their own reporting dates. Treat any calendar, including this one, as indicative until the company itself confirms.
Questions
Answered plainly.
Between reports, a share price reflects expectations. A report replaces expectation with fact, revenue, margin, and forward guidance, and the market reprices the difference in a single move rather than gradually.
Companies usually publish outside trading hours so the market can absorb the information. Before open means the release lands ahead of the session; after close means it lands once the session has ended, with the reaction appearing at the next open.
You can, but it carries elevated risk. Spreads widen, liquidity thins, and prices can gap past stop levels, meaning your exit may fill materially away from the level you set.
Plan the season. Don't chase it.
Open an account and follow the releases that matter to your positions, or rehearse the whole season on a demo first.
