Company pages and the earnings calendar

A stock's profile, ratios, financial statements, filings, and news, the next earnings report with the move options price through it, and the market-wide earnings calendar.

Two pages cover the company behind a ticker rather than its options: the company page (/AAPL/company, in the rail under Research) and the earnings calendar (/SPX/earnings), which covers the whole market.

The company page

The head shows the company's name, exchange, sector, industry, and website, then a strip: market cap, P/E (trailing twelve months), beta, free-cash-flow yield, and Next earnings with its quarter, whether it comes before the open or after the close, and how many days away. On Pro the strip adds the move the options market prices through that report ("±11.6% priced through Oct 23"), the expected move of the first expiration that holds it.

Four tabs:

• Overview: the latest report's EPS and revenue against estimates ("Beat by 5.2%", "Missed by 38.1%"), GAAP figures with their change from a year earlier, an eight-quarter trend (revenue, diluted EPS, net margin, or free cash flow), profitability and valuation ratios, and what the company does.
• Financials: the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow for the last eight quarters or years, most recent first, in the currency the company reports in.
• Events and filings: upcoming and past earnings, dividends, splits, and SEC filings, each filing linking to the filing itself.
• News: recent headlines with the publisher and age, each linking out.

A surprise is (actual − estimate) ÷ |estimate|: a beat when positive, a miss when negative. Beats and misses are written in words, never green or red, which the app keeps for gamma and price.

An index (SPX) has no company data, and the page says so. A fund (SPY, QQQ) shows its profile, dividends, and news; funds don't report company financials or earnings.

When a report falls inside an expiration

A report moves the price before an expiration's close when it comes before the open on or before the expiration date, or after the close on an earlier day. The first expiration that holds the report is the one whose options price it, and its IV move is the market's estimate of the reaction. Wheel and income flags a pick whose expiration holds a report, and a watcher can tell you when one is a few days away.

The earnings calendar

The calendar shows a month: each day's number of reporters, the selected day outlined, and today underlined. Pick a day for its table: symbol (to its company page), time (BMO before the open, AMC after the close, or not announced), EPS and revenue estimates and actuals, the surprise, and on Pro the IV move where the ticker has options.

US shows US-listed companies; All adds the rest. The calendar opens on the companies expected to report $1B or more in revenue, which is the "Revenue $1B+" tag beside Filters; it leaves out the many small names most traders don't follow. Filters narrow by symbol prefix, the revenue estimate (Any, $100M, $1B, or $10B or more), report time, names with estimates only, and Watchlist only for the tickers on your watchlist. Choose Any for every size, or press Show all sizes where the calendar says a small name may be hidden, such as when you search a symbol. Clear filters returns to $1B or more, and the link you share keeps your choice.

In earnings season the calendar updates every hour, otherwise daily.
