Earnings Calendar - Jan 16, 2018

The earnings season usually begins one to two weeks after the end of the last month of each quarter (December, March, June, and September).

A company's earnings report reveals its profitability and financial stability. If a company’s earnings are reported above expectations, its stock price tends to rise. However, depending on forward guidance and macroeconomic factors, a stock price is still susceptible to volatility.

Stock prices tend to be more volatile before and after a company reports its earnings. Investors should develop an investment thesis using Earnings Reports Insights and other datasets before making any investment decisions.
