Understanding Earnings Reports
What are Earnings Reports?
Earnings reports are quarterly financial statements that publicly traded companies release to show their financial performance. These reports include revenue, net income, earnings per share (EPS), and forward guidance. Markets often react significantly to earnings surprises - when actual results differ from analyst expectations.
How to Trade Around Earnings
Successful earnings trading requires understanding volatility patterns, analyst expectations, and historical performance. Many traders focus on earnings surprises, guidance updates, and management commentary during calls. Options activity often increases before earnings as traders position for potential price swings.
