How to Read the Webull Earnings Calendar

Earnings announcements can cause drastic stock price movements depending on whether the earnings beat or miss expectations. Investors must be aware of the earnings reports ahead of time to prepare for potential market movements.

Our earnings calendar presents the top six companies ranked by capital in each of the 11 sectors. Generally, it answers the following three questions.

1. Has the stock price gone up or down after the company released earnings?

The price volatility following each earnings announcement is shown in hills. If the stock price goes up, it’s shown as an upward hill. If the price goes down, it’s shown as a downward hill. The height of the hill is the price volatility represented as a percentage.

For pre-market and during-market earnings releases, price volatility = “Closing price on the announcement date – Closing price on the previous business day”.

For after-market earnings releases, price volatility = “Closing price on the next business day - Closing price on the announcement date”.

2. Did the company beat or miss their EPS estimates in previous earnings releases?

The difference between the actual EPS and the estimate is shown with circles. Green circles represent a company beating EPS estimates, while red circles represent actual missing estimates EPS. The bigger the circle, the EPS beat or miss.

3. How does the current EPS estimate look on a YoY perspective?

The EPS estimate is shown as a diamond. A green diamond represents a positive EPS estimate, while a red diamond represents a negative EPS estimate. The bigger the diamond, the higher the EPS estimate.

A red arrow pointing downward means the estimate is lower compared to the EPS from the year prior. A green arrow pointing upward means the estimate is higher compared to the EPS from the year prior.

In the example below, the EPS estimate for Q4 2021 is -1.2, a 20% drop compared to the EPS of Q4 2020.

By putting the hills, circles, and diamonds together, you get a full picture of the earnings preview. Can you understand them?
